Carolina Highlighting Previous UNC-Tennessee Matchups 1893: Once Carolina began playing football in 1888, most of its games were on the road or at neutral sites. The 1893 Tennessee game was just the third ever played on campus. The Tar Heels won in a rout, : Carolina won in Knoxville in the second game of the year. Don Jackson set a school record with four interceptions as Carolina set a team single-game record with nine interceptions. In addition, Tom Burnette returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown with 10 seconds to play. 1936: The Tar Heels scored two first half touchdowns and made them stand up in a 14-3 win at Chapel Hill. Tom Burnette partially blocked a punt to set up the first score, a 1-yard run by Jim Hutchins. Pete Avery grabbed a fumble out of the air and returned it back 45 yards for the second touchdown. The Vols drove to the Carolina 7-yard line in the second quarter and back to the 12 in the fourth quarter, but could not get into the end zone. 1946: Carolina lost the 1946 game in Knoxville despite a 74-yard run by Charlie Justice. It was the second-longest run from scrimmage in his career and called by some as his most spectacular. Some writers reported that at least a dozen defenders had a hand on him as he weaved back and forth across the field. That was the only regular-season loss for the Tar Heels. A setback to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl left the final record at : Carolina won 20-7 in Chapel Hill with Justice involved in all three touchdowns. He scored one himself and threw for the other two. 1948: In what would be a regular season, Carolina defeated Tennessee in Knoxville, The Tar Heels had crushed LSU, 34-7, the previous week. The Vols had beaten Alabama, 21-6, and then cruised past Tennessee Tech, 41-0, prior to facing the Tar Heels. In what would be one of the toughest games of the year, Justice threw touchdown passes to Bill Flamish and Art Weiner to account for both Carolina scores. He also had a 73-yard punt, second longest of his career. 1961: The final game of the series was a thriller as Carolina prevailed in Kenan Stadium. Ray Farris threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Ward Marslender with 15 seconds left to cut the Volunteer lead to Farris then threw to Gib Carson for the winning two-point conversion.

Tar Heels Thin at Tailback North Carolina entered the season seemingly deep at tailback with three seniors, one sophomore and a highly-recruited freshman. However, the Tar Heels have been hit hard by injuries and enter the Music City Bowl with just two proven runners. Here is a list of Carolina s tailback troubles: Johnny White, North Carolina s leading rusher, suffered a season-ending fracture of his clavicle vs. Florida State. At the time, White was second in the ACC in all-purpose yards and third in rushing. He finished the season with 720 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while earning honorable-mention All- ACC honors. Shaun Draughn, the 2009 starter, missed the first game of the year while the University worked with the NCAA to determine his eligibility, then twisted his ankle late in the year against FSU.

Not only was Merletti unable to play last year, but he was also unable to lead the team out of the tunnel with the American flag his brother, who is in the military, gave him in The flag was significant because it was flown by Merletti s brother on several missions in Iraq. Throughout the 2009 season, Merletti chose one teammate to run out of the tunnel with the flag and made it his personal goal to carry the flag at Carolina s bowl game. Although he was still not cleared to play, Merletti led the team onto the field against Pittsburgh in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Following each game, Merletti takes great care to fold the flag correctly before departing the locker room. Merletti has played in every game, starting four, and has 36 tackles and two interceptions.

14 2010 FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL Senior Class On Track For Graduation All 17 seniors on the 2010 football team are on track to graduate. Twelve of those student-athletes graduated in December and the other five are on course to graduate in May. At the UNC football banquet in early December, head coach Butch Davis remarked that this senior class would never be forgotten for the way they persevered this year in the face of adversity. Hurst Makes Rare Freshman Start On O-Line Freshman James Hurst has started 11 of 12 games this year. The only game he did not start was the opener vs. LSU. Hurst is one of only nine freshmen in the country to start at offensive tackle this season. Hurst was named first-team Freshman All-America by Sporting News, Phil Steele and Rivals.com. Historic Win In Charlottesville North Carolina s victory at Virginia was the Tar Heels first win in Charlottesville since Carolina had lost 14 straight at UVA. The 44 points Carolina scored at UVA were the most against Virginia since scoring 48 in 1997 in Chapel Hill. It was also the most in Charlottesville since the Tar Heels scored 49 in Carolina s 34-point margin of victory is the second-largest margin for UNC at Virginia in the ACC era. The biggest margin of victory was a 42-0 win in The 34-point win is the largest margin of victory against an ACC team in a road game since a 38-3 win at Clemson in 2001 and equals the largest margin of victory for Carolina against any opponent under Butch Davis. UNC also beat The Citadel, 40-6, in Miscellaneous Notes North Carolina earned its first-ever win in Tallahassee with a victory. It was just the second win over Florida State in 18 meetings. Carolina also beat the Seminoles in 2001 in Chapel Hill. North Carolina scored its first win over Clemson since 2001, having lost in 2002, 2003 and It was Butch Davis s first game as Carolina s head coach against the Tigers. Carolina s 42 points vs. ECU are the most they have scored against the Pirates since UNC won 56-0 behind Kelvin Bryant s six touchdowns in North Carolina s win over Rutgers marked the first time since the win over Connecticut in 2009 that the Tar Heels rallied from a halftime deficit to win. Boyd s Big Game vs. LSU Sophomore wide receiver Jheranie Boyd leads the Tar Heels in yards per reception (22.1). He has caught 14 passes for 310 yards this season. Six of his receptions came in a breakout game against LSU with six receptions for 221 yards and a touchdown. His 97-yard touchdown reception was the longest play from scrimmage in UNC history. The previous longest pass play was a 93-yard reception from Mark Maye to Randy Marriott at Georgia Tech. The previous longest play from scrimmage was a 95-yard run by S.A. Ashe in The 97-yarder is one of the six longest pass plays in ACC history (3 of 97 yards, 3 of 98 yards). He also had a 75-yard reception and his 221 yards vs. LSU are seven more than he had all of 2009 (214). Reddick Perseveres After Fire: Assistance Program Set Up By UNC Sophomore linebacker Kevin Reddick ranks second on the team with 66 tackles and has two interceptions, including one he returned 22 yards for a touchdown at Virginia. Over the summer Reddick s off-campus apartment was destroyed by fire. The University of North Carolina athletic department partnered with Quest Ministries in Chapel Hill to raise funds for football Reddick, who lost all of his possessions. The fire, which began just after 3 p.m. in a fourth-floor unit at Farrington Lakes apartments in Durham on July 10, quickly spread throughout the building and left 22 people displaced. Reddick was in his third-floor apartment when the fire began and thought someone was simply working on the roof. As he went to close the blinds, he saw flames flash in front of his window. He quickly grabbed his shoes and cell phone and left the building. Left behind were all of his possessions, including his clothes and furniture. Also lost were irreplaceable items like the photos of his daughter and his state championship high school ring. Reddick did not have renter s insurance. Kenan Stadium Master Plan In late May, 2010, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Board of Trustees approved the Carolina Student-Athlete Center for Excellence, a five-story privately financed structure that will be built in Kenan Stadium s east end zone to house the academic support center for student-athletes, the Carolina Leadership Academy, Olympic sports strength and conditioning center, visiting locker room, club seats and individual suites. Construction began immediately on the project that is expected to take roughly 15 months to complete in time for the start of the 2011 football season. The Center for Excellence will replace the Kenan Fieldhouse, which was built in Sales of club seats and individual suites began in October Those sales will provide approximately 50 percent of the funding of the $70 million project. Private donations will fund the rest of the project. The athletic department will not use state funds. The Carolina Student-Athlete Center for Excellence will help us provide exceptional academic support to our nearly 800 student-athletes, says Director of Athletics Dick Baddour. It also creates a new source of revenue that over the next 30 years will help us maintain the broad-based, 28-sport program we have long enjoyed. 12 TARHEELBLUE.COM

36 2010 FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL Butch Davis Head Coach Fourth Season at UNC 36th Season Overall North Carolina head coach Butch Davis has brought energy and enthusiasm back to the Tar Heel football program with his ability to motivate, teach and recruit at the highest level. A man with a proven record of success and an unyielding commitment to excellence, Davis has a clear vision for building a championship program in Chapel Hill based on integrity, character and honor. In four seasons at North Carolina, Davis has led the Tar Heels to three consecutive bowl games for the first time in more than a decade and produced 23 wins over the past three years. Carolina opened the 2010 campaign with consecutive losses to nationallyranked LSU and Georgia Tech, but rebounded to win seven of the next 10, including big wins over bowl teams Florida State, Clemson and East Carolina. He also guided the Tar Heels to their first win at Virginia since Simply put, Davis has turned around the UNC program. Carolina improved from 4-8 in 2007 to 8-5 in 2008, which was the sixth-best turnaround in the country. A second consecutive eight-win season in 2009 and a 7-5 mark in 2010 gives the Tar Heels 27 wins under Davis, which is eight more than they won in the five years ( ) prior to his arrival. The former head coach at the University of Miami and the NFL s Cleveland Browns, Davis is Carolina s 33rd head coach and the ninth since the ACC was formed in He was officially introduced as North Carolina s head coach on Nov. 13, 2006, and has immediately connected with studentathletes and fans alike with his brand of fast, hard-nosed, disciplined football. Davis also emphasizes the importance of academics. His teams have been recognized by the American Football Coaches Association for outstanding graduation rates in each of his nine seasons as a head coach, including six at Miami and three at UNC. This year s team has 17 seniors and 13 graduated in December. The other four student-athletes are on track to graduate in May. Butch Davis Butch Davis Rebuilding Job In Butch Davis four seasons at UNC, the Tar Heels have won 27 games (4-8 in 2007, 8-5 in 2008, 8-5 in 2009, 7-5 in 2010), which is eight more than they won in the five years ( ) prior to his arrival. Among the evidence that Davis has turned the program around: Carolina averaged a school-record 58,250 fans in 2010 Season ticket sales have increased since 2007 Carolina played its first Thursday Night ESPN football game in 2009 Carolina s 2010 Spring Game was broadcast nationally on ESPN and drew a school-record 29,500 spectators. Carolina has produced first-round NFL Draft picks (Kentwan Balmer by the San Francisco 49ers in 2008 and Hakeem Nicks by the New York Giants in 2009) under Davis. Carolina advanced to three consecutive bowl games for the first time since going to seven straight from Three of Davis four UNC recruiting classes have been ranked in the Top 25 by a majority of recruiting analysts. No stranger to success, Davis has coached in 13 postseason bowl games as an assistant or head coach, including two apiece in the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowls, and he either recruited or coached nearly all the players from Miami s 2001 national championship team. He also won two Super Bowls as an assistant coach with the Dallas Cowboys. An excellent motivator and technician, Davis recruited or coached a number of players at Miami who were selected in the NFL Draft, including an amazing 28 firstround picks in six seasons. Since his arrival in Chapel Hill, Davis has produced two first-round draft picks in defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks. Prior to his arrival in Chapel Hill, Davis served as an analyst on the NFL Network for two seasons. There he was able to watch and study the latest college football offensive and defensive schemes. Yearning to return to the college coaching ranks, Davis surveyed the college football landscape, and when the Carolina job came open, he was immediately interested. Davis was head coach for six seasons at Miami ( ) and led the Hurricanes to a record, three Big East Conference championships and four postseason bowl wins in as many appearances. He took over a Miami program faced with NCAA sanctions that restricted the number of scholarships in his first three seasons. However, his Hurricane teams finished ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 on four occasions, including No. 2 in the nation in 2000, when the Canes went 11-1 and beat Florida, 37-20, in the Sugar Bowl. Davis left Coral Gables following the 2000 season to join the Cleveland Browns. In his first season in Cleveland in 2001, Davis led his young team to an impressive 7-9 record, exceeding by two the expansion club s combined victories from 1999 and 2000 (5-27). His second season as head coach resulted in the Browns earning their first playoff appearance and best regular season mark since Cleveland finished the season with a 7-3 mark over its final 10 games, including victories in four of its final six outings, the best record over the final six games of the season for the franchise since Cleveland was Davis second stint in the NFL. He was a defensive assistant with the Dallas Cowboys from and was defensive coordinator in 1993 and The Cowboys won consecutive Super Bowls in 1992 and 1993 and played in one other NFC championship game. Davis helped Dallas post one of the most spectacular turnarounds in sports history as the Cowboys went from a lowly 1-15 squad in 1989 to one of the most dominant NFL programs in the 1990s. He was the defensive line coach in the Cowboys win over Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVII and served as defensive coordinator in the Cowboys win over Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVIII. Davis was also defensive coordinator during Barry Switzer s first season as head coach in 1994 and helped Dallas reach the NFC Championship Game, where eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco denied its bid for a three-peat. Davis was defensive line coach at Miami from under head coach Jimmy Johnson, whom he also coached under for five years in Dallas and five years at Oklahoma State. The Hurricanes went 52-9 in those five years and won the 1987 national championship after beating Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl to cap a perfect 12-0 record. Davis entered the collegiate coaching ranks on the offensive side of the ball as an assistant on Johnson s Oklahoma State University teams from At OSU, Davis coached receivers and tight ends while also serving as recruiting coordinator. Davis played college football at the University of Arkansas for coach Frank Broyles. A knee injury curtailed his college career, and he became a student assistant coach for the Razorbacks.

Browning has coached on the offensive and defensive side of the ball at UNC, including three seasons as tight ends coach ( ) and 11 years as defensive tackles coach ( , ). Butch Davis is the fourth head coach Browning has worked under at North Carolina. Browning also oversees Carolina s camps and clinics. A different running back has led the team in rushing in each of the last three seasons under Browning s tutelage, including Shaun Draughn in 2008, Ryan Houston in 2009 and Johnn White this year. Draughn was among the league s top rushers in 2009 before a shoulder injury vs. Duke sidelined him for the rest of the year. Houston, who finished ninth in the league in touchdowns last year, took over as the primary ball carrier and led the team in rushing. Draughn coverted from safety to running back in 2008 and has started 18 games in the last three years. White returned to tailback in 2010 and was having a career year with 720 rushing yards when he fractured his collarbone in the win over Florida State. In 17 seasons in Chapel Hill, Browning has developed a number of outstanding players, including first-round NFL draft picks Vonnie Holliday (DT), Marcus Jones (DT/DE) and Ryan Sims (DT) and second-round picks Rick Terry (DT) and Russell Davis (DT). He also recruited and coached 2008 first-round NFL draft pick Kentwan Balmer. Sports Illustrated selected North Carolina s defensive tackles in its positional Dream Team in its 1998 preseason college football issue. In 2002, Sims, who played under Browning for three years, was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round. Browning is in his second stint coaching on the offensive side of the ball at UNC. He coached Carolina s tight ends for four seasons ( ), where he developed several standout players. With Browning on the defensive side of the ball, the Tar Heels led the ACC in total defense from and finished No. 2 in the nation in yards allowed in 1996 and The Tar Heels were third in the country against the run in 1996 allowing 73.9 yards per game. In 1997, Carolina was fourth in the nation stopping the run as opponents averaged 77.9 yards per contest. UNC held opponents to less than 50 yards rushing in six games and less than 100 yards in nine of 12 games. Promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000, Browning directed a UNC squad that set a school record with an ACC-best 53 sacks. Carolina finished 19th in the nation against the run, allowing just yards per game, and was second in the league and 30th in the nation in total defense. One of the state s most decorated high school coaches, Browning joined the Tar Heel staff in 1994 and has coached in some of the most memorable Carolina football games. He has been a part of eight bowl games and was on the staff in when UNC had a combined record of 21-3 and finished ranked in the top 10 both seasons. Browning was the head coach and athletic director at Northern Durham High School for 18 years. He posted a record and won the A state title and Shrine Bowl. Over his last three years, Northern built a 43-2 record and he was named the North Carolina Coach of the Year by the Associated Press in 1992 and He became only the third coach to win both the state title and Shrine Bowl in the same year. Browning and his wife, Susan, have three sons Chuck, John and Joe. Ken Browning Charlie Coiner Defensive Line Coach 1st Season at UNC Charlie Coiner was hired to coach the defensive line after John Blake resigned following the 2010 LSU game. Coiner, who has ties with several members of Carolina s coaching staff, joined the Tar Heels after spending the previous four seasons with the Buffalo Bills. It s unrealistic to expect in a short two-or-three day period of time that we ll see the effects of what he ll be able to do, Davis said at the time of his hire, but he s been an assistant special teams coordinator in the National Football League. He s a good football coach. He s smart, he s bright, he s got good communication skills, he s a good teacher [and] he s got a unique perspective in that he has seen an awful lot of very good football players and how they play. I think it s a good addition. He s got a close personal relationship with several of the coaches on our staff and I think that from a chemistry standpoint, that was critically important - if you re going to add someone at this stage into the mix, it needs to be somebody that s got really good chemistry and enthusiasm. I think that certainly Charlie will bring that. Coiner tutored Carolina s only first-team All-ACC player in defensive tackle Quinton Coples, who had 14 tackles for losses and 8.5 sacks. Carolina played all season with two freshmen defensive ends and still finished fourth in the league in total defense. Joiner coached the tight ends in Buffalo and assisted on special teams. In 2008, he led a young Buffalo group that produced career receiving numbers across the board. Robert Royal posted career highs in receptions (33) and receiving yards (351) and added one touchdown. Second-year TE Derek Schouman added 15 receptions and 153 yards and rookie TE Derek Fine added 10 receptions for 94 yards and one touchdown. Tight ends also contributed to the team s rushing game that ranked fifth in the AFC in games 9-16 with 1,092 yards. Under Coiner in 2007, Michael Gaines set career highs in starts (14), receptions (25) and yards (215) and tied a career-best with two touchdowns in his first season with Buffalo. Coiner joined the Bills as the team s tight ends coach after spending as a member of the Chicago Bears coaching staff. He held the assistant special teams coach position for the Bears in He originally joined Chicago on February 12, 2001 as the offensive quality control coach under then-offensive coordinator John Shoop. A native of Waynesboro, Va., Coiner earned his bachelor s degree from Catawba College and master s from Appalachian St. where he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant from Withers and Douglas both played at Appalachian State while Coiner was coaching in Boone. From there he moved to Minnesota where he assisted the defensive line and kicking game in He later coached with Withers at Austin Peay from He then coached at Vanderbilt ( ), Texas Southern (1994 & 2000), Louisville ( ), Tennessee-Chattanooga (1998) and LSU (1999).

UNC 17, Rutgers 13 September 25, 2010 Rutgers Stadium Piscataway, N.J. ATLANTA (AP) - North Carolina nearly rallied from a 20-point halftime deficit before losing to LSU on Saturday night. Patrick Peterson had 257 yards - including an 87- yard touchdown - on kickoff and punt returns, leading No. 21 LSU (1-0) to a halftime lead. But No. 18 North Carolina (0-1) made a game of it, scoring two second-half touchdowns, then getting two shots at the win after recovering an onside kick and a fumble. T.J. Yates drove the Heels to the LSU 2-yard line and got off a pair of passes into the end zone after throwing for a career-high 412 yards. Both slipped through the hands of Zack Pianalto. Backed up against his own goal line, Yates rolled to his right and heaved a pass out of the end zone that Jheranie Boyd took to the other end zone for a 97-yard touchdown - the longest play from scrimmage in North Carolina history. Yates then hooked up with Erik Highsmith on a 14-yard touchdown with 2 1/2 minutes remaining. North Carolina recovered an onside kick, but LSU stopped that drive by forcing Yates to fumble as he tried to scramble. Trying to run out the clock, Stevan Ridley fumbled and the Tar Heels recovered, getting one more shot for an improbable victory. Former quarterback Russell Shepard, now playing receiver to take advantage of his speed, hauled in a touchdown pass and broke off a 50-yard scoring run for LSU. And the current quarterback, Jordan Jefferson, finished off the first half with a 51-yard scoring pass to Rueben Randle. Plenty of players stepped up for the Tar Heels, no one more than Yates. He completed 28 of 45 and had three touchdown passes. His favorite receiver was Boyd, who had six catches for 221 yards, making him only the fourth player in North Carolina history to have 200 receiving yards in a game.

(AP) - Joshua Nesbitt ran for a touchdown and threw for another to help Georgia Tech beat North Carolina on Saturday. Nesbitt ran for a tying touchdown late in the third quarter, then directed the drive that ended with Scott Blair s 46-yard field goal that put the Yellow Jackets ahead for good early in the fourth. Orwin Smith and Roddy Jones also scored touchdowns for Georgia Tech (2-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which overcame some second-half miscues after a mistake-free opening half to hang on for its 11th win in 13 meetings. Johnny White ran for a career-high 113 yards and a touchdown for the Tar Heels (0-2, 0-1), who were short-handed again due to an NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct. T.J. Yates pushed the Tar Heels all the way to the LSU 6-yard line before missing on two throws into the end zone to end that game. This time, however, the Tar Heels final drive stalled just across midfield when Brad Jefferson took down White well short of the marker on fourth down with 1:16 left. After Georgia Tech scored on all three first-half possessions, Nesbitt s bad option pitch led to the game s first turnover and set up White s 4-yard touchdown in the third quarter for a lead. A few minutes later, the Tar Heels stopped the Yellow Jackets on a fourth-and-2 near midfield, which seemed to set them up to take control. But Yates fumbled on a handoff attempt and Jefferson pounced on the loose ball. That set up another chance for Nesbitt, who scrambled to his left on a third-and-long and found Jones open on the left side for a short pass. Jones broke a tackle and sprinted 41 yards to the Tar Heels 5, and Nesbitt scored on a keeper two plays later to tie it. Nesbitt ran for 104 yards, helping the Yellow Jackets finish with 372 yards on the ground and 448 overall. Georgia Tech Carolina UNC - Barth 20 yd field goal (7:06, 1st) GT - O.

(AP) -T.J. Yates threw a goahead third-quarter touchdown and North Carolina s defense made two late stands to lead the undermanned Tar Heels to a victory over Rutgers on Saturday. Yates gave North Carolina (1-2) the lead with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Taylor as the Tar Heels avoided their first 0-3 start since Matt Merletti intercepted Tom Savage s pass at the Tar Heels 6 with less than 3 minutes left. North Carolina forced Rutgers to turn the ball over on downs after the Scarlet Knights took over at the Tar Heels 34 with 2:21 remaining. Bruce Carter set up the Tar Heels other two scores with an interception and a blocked punt. The pick set up a 1-yard run by Johnny White and the block led to a 25-yard field goal by Casey Barth. Mohamed Sanu scored on a 10-yard run and San San Te kicked field goals of 32 and 39 yards for Rutgers (1-2) which was playing its first BCS opponent this season. North Carolina took the field with 12 players ineligible, including a total of seven starters on offense and defense, because of a continuing NCAA investigation. Yates, who finished 22 of 30 for 204 yards and an interception, led them on a 14-play, 80-yard march during which he converted on three third-down plays and also got a pass interference call on another third down to keep the drive alive. Taylor capped the march by bulling over on his 5-yard catch, although the officials reviewed the score when the ball came out of his hands near the goal line. He had crossed the plane of the end zone. A 46-yard kickoff return and a personal foul set up Te s 39 yard field goal on the next series, but Carter s blocked made it a four-point game with 9:34 to go.

UNC 44, Virginia 10 October 16, 2010 Scott Stadium Charlottesville, Va. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Shaun Draughn scored three second-half touchdowns while Da Norris Searcy returned an interception for a touchdown in his first game back to help North Carolina beat East Carolina on Saturday. Draughn ran for 137 yards for the Tar Heels (2-2), who have won two straight games. Johnny White also ran for a career-high 140 yards while T.J. Yates threw two TD passes, giving North Carolina a win against its instate rival here for the second straight season. Dominique Davis threw for a touchdown for the Pirates (2-2), who got off a solid start only to see the game slip steadily away from there. East Carolina has now lost two straight games after opening Ruffin McNeill s tenure at his alma mater with a pair of wins against Conference USA opponents. North Carolina had plenty to feel good about with this win. Draughn fell a yard short of his career high and got stronger against the Pirates struggling defense, while White overcame an ankle injury that had him questionable for the game with a strong performance of his own. It marked the first time in six years that the Tar Heels had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same game, and the first time in five years that the Pirates had allowed two 100-yard rushers. Draughn scored on a 1-yard run late in the third quarter to make it a two-possession game, then bulled over defenders at the pylon for a 4-yard score midway through the fourth. He scored on a 13-yard run in the final minute, capping an eight-play drive in which he carried the ball on every play. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Johnny White rushed for two touchdowns and gained 179 total yards, and North Carolina held on to beat Clemson on Saturday for its third straight victory. White caught six passes for 90 yards, finished with 89 yards rushing and scored on runs of 4 and 26 yards. T.J. Yates was 18-for-34 for 164 yards with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jheranie Boyd for the Tar Heels (3-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). They coaxed just enough production out of the offense to beat the Tigers for the first time since Kyle Parker s 74-yard TD pass to Jaron Brown with 5:31 left pulled the Tigers (2-3, 0-2) within five, but they couldn t convert the two-point attempt and didn t get the ball back until only 13 seconds remained. Parker then threw three deep passes, all incompletions. Two plays after his 12-yard catch from Yates on fourth-and-4, White bounced off a series of tacklers on his way to the end zone. That 26-yarder came with 6:53 to play, when he bounced off a series of tacklers and scored from 26 yards out to extend North Carolina s lead to Jamie Harper pulled the Tigers to with a 10-yard touchdown run with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third. Clemson drove into North Carolina territory on its next possession, but the drive stalled at the 24 and Chandler Catanzaro s 42-yard field goal was wide right. Clemson had pulled to 7-3 with 6 1/2 minutes left in the half on Catanzaro s 48-yard field goal. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP)--T.J. Yates threw for three touchdowns and North Carolina won for the first time since 1981 at Scott Stadium, beating Virginia Saturday night. The Tar Heels (4-2, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) had lost 14 consecutive games on the Cavaliers home field but dominated throughout this one. Yates hit Dwight Jones with a short slant on the first play and Jones went 81 yards for a touchdown after breaking one tackle. Jones had a huge day, catching six passes for 188 yards and two scores in the first half. He missed a third TD when he stepped out at the halfyard line on a 54-yard reception and finished with seven catches for 198 yards. He arrived with 12 for just 104 yards this year. Marc Verica struggled mightily for Virginia (2-4, 0-3), throwing three interceptions. Kevin Reddick returned the third one 22 yards for a touchdown and Verica was pulled.

58 2010 FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL Miami 33, UNC 10 October 23, 2010 Sun Life Stadium Miami, Fla. UNC 21, William & Mary 17 October 30, 2010 Kenan Stadium Chapel Hill, N.C. UNC 37, Florida State 35 November 6, 2010 Doak S. Campbell Stadium Tallahasse, Fla. MIAMI (AP) - Sean Spence and Brandon Harris danced toward the sideline in such exaggerated celebration that they drew a penalty. Randy Shannon chest-bumped 310-pound left tackle Orlando Franklin. Allen Bailey shook his fist and screamed at no one in particular. Jacory Harris threw three touchdown passes to move into second place on Miami s career list, Damien Berry ran for his fourth straight game of 100-plus yards and the 25th-ranked Hurricanes scored the game s last 30 points to easily beat North Carolina on Saturday night. They challenged each other to step up and make plays, said Shannon, the Miami coach who beat North Carolina for the first time in four tries. I think that s one thing about this football team--guys are starting to develop a mentality of what we re trying to get done. The great teams and the great players step up and challenge each player. Berry finished with 109 yards and a touchdown for the Hurricanes (5-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). LaRon Byrd, Travis Benjamin and Leonard Hankerson had touchdown catches for Miami and Spence forced a key fumble in the opening quarter to deny North Carolina a touchdown. Johnny White had a 76-yard touchdown run for North Carolina (4-3, 2-2), the longest carry for the Tar Heels in more than nine years. White s score gave North Carolina a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, before Miami took over and denied the Tar Heels bid for their first five-game winning streak since Jacory Harris completed 21 of 32 passes for 217 yards for Miami. T.J. Yates was 12 of 21 for 140 yards and two interceptions for North Carolina, which got 85 yards from White and 71 more from Shaun Draughn. Miami sacked Yates five times, a season-worst for North Carolina - with Bailey getting credited for 3 1/2 of them. The formula when you play against Miami is you don t want to play from behind, Davis said. They ve got some great defensive linemen who can put pressure on your quarterback.

(AP) - Johnny White s 67-yard touchdown run with 5:27 to play capped North Carolina s rally from 10 points down in the fourth quarter and lifted the Tar Heels past William & Mary on Saturday. White finished with a career-high 164 yards for North Carolina (5-3), which snapped the Tribe s six-game winning streak. After a lethargic first three quarters against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent, the Tar Heels finally got rolling in time to avoid being upset by a former teammate. T.J. Yates was 23 of 33 for 238 yards with a 1-yard touchdown run and a 3-yard TD pass to Ryan Taylor. Mike Paulus--Yates former backup at North Carolina--nearly led William & Mary to another win against one of the Atlantic Coast Conference s big boys. He finished 24 of 35 for 209 yards and touchdowns of 6 and 9 yards to Chase Hill for the Tribe (6-2). The Tar Heels trailed 17-7 after three quarters before finally putting together their most impressive drive of the day. They converted two fourth downs during an 18-play, 90-yard march that Yates capped with his short touchdown pass to Taylor to pull them to with 8:32 left. White--who had a 76-yard scoring run in last week s loss at Miami--struck from long distance again. He took a third-down handoff through the left side, stiff-armed safety Terrell Wells and cut back to the right on his way to the end zone. Though these schools were playing for just the second time in roughly two decades, there was plenty of familiarity on the sidelines. North Carolina offensive coordinator John Shoop is the younger brother of Tribe defensive coordinator Bob Shoop. Paulus was one of the key members of North Carolina coach Butch Davis first recruiting class in He wound up playing in only four games, didn t attempt a pass in 2009 and transferred to William & Mary following last season in search of more playing time.

(AP) - T.J Yates record-setting performance delivered North Carolina a victory in a place it had never won before. Yates threw for a school-record 439 yards, Casey Barth kicked his third goal, a 22-yarder, with 55 seconds left and the Tar Heels beat No. 24 Florida State for their first victory in nine games in Tallahassee. Florida State kicker Dustin Hopkins missed two field goals in the fourth quarter, including a 40-yard try with 7 seconds left. Yates threw three touchdown passes and took the Tar Heels 72 yards on the winning drive to set up Barth s decisive kick. Yates 31-yard completion to Dwight Jones was the big play in a drive that North Carolina coach Butch Davis called the best one in his four years at the school. Tonight was kind of somewhat to be honest with you a microcosm of the whole season, North Carolina Davis said. It seems like every week there s drama and adversity, challenges. In a season in which the Tar Heels (6-3, 3-2) were expected to contend for the ACC championship they have dealt the loss of several star players because of a pair of NCAA investigations. Still, they have salvaged the season by becoming bowl eligible and beating Florida State for only the second time in 18 meetings. The Seminoles (6-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) lost control of their own destiny in the league race after a defeat at North Carolina State on Oct. 18, when Ponder fumbled the ball inside the Wolfpack 5 in the waning seconds of the game. Instead, the division will be a scramble to the finish- -much like this game. But the Seminoles couldn t get their offense restarted in the second half for a third straight week.

59 NORTH CAROLINA VS. TENNESSEE LP FIELD NASHVILLE, TENN. Virginia Tech 26, UNC 10 November 13, 2010 Kenan Stadium Chapel Hill, N.C. NC State 29, UNC 25 November 20, 2010 Kenan Stadium Chapel Hill, N.C. UNC 24, Duke 19 November 27, 2010 Wallace Wade Staium Durham, N.C. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Tyrod Taylor hit Marcus Davis with a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes to help No. 16 Virginia Tech beat North Carolina on Saturday. Taylor threw for 249 yards while the defense locked down the Tar Heels after halftime, helping the Hokies (8-2, 6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) improve to 4-0 in Chapel Hill since joining the league in Virginia Tech entered Saturday with a chance to wrap up the ACC s Coastal Division title for the fourth time in six seasons, but Miami s easy win at Georgia Tech earlier in the day delayed the Hokies coronation. Virginia Tech travels to Miami next weekend and needs to win one of its final two games to wrap up a berth in the league championship game in Charlotte on Dec. 4. As for the Tar Heels (6-4, 3-3), their slim chances of winning the division evaporated in a mash of miscues and missed chances. Virginia Tech trailed 10-9 at halftime after kicking three field goals, two when drives stalled after reaching the UNC 15 and 8. But Taylor found Davis for a 43-yard gain on the opening drive of the second half, then connected with him again for the go-ahead 11- yard score with 10:38 left in the period. The touchdown capped a dominant third quarter for the Hokies, who outgained the Tar Heels while watching their hosts do everything they could to help Virginia Tech inch closer to another division crown. North Carolina committed a season-high six turnovers, with T.J. Yates throwing four interceptions a week after setting a school record with 439 yards passing in the program s first win at Florida State. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Owen Spencer caught a tipped ball in the end zone for a touchdown on fourth down and T.J. Graham returned a punt 87 yards for another score to help North Carolina State rally past rival North Carolina on Saturday. Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes for the Wolfpack (8-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), including the improbable 2-yard score to Spencer late in the third quarter. With the win, N.C. State put itself in position to claim the league s Atlantic Division title and earn a spot in the ACC championship game by winning next weekend at Maryland. The win also improved Tom O Brien s Wolfpack to 4-0 against Butch Davis Tar Heels (6-5, 3-4) since the coaches took over their programs before the 2007 season. First, the Tar Heels put together a goal-line stand to force a fourth down, but O Brien passed on a short field goal to make it a one-possession game and went for the touchdown. It appeared to be a mistake when Wilson found himself scrambling around under pressure and lofting a desperate pass into a crowd in the right corner of the end zone. Safety Da Norris Searcy and receiver Darrell Davis appeared to tip the ball, which landed in Spencer s arms as he fell to the turf. Officials signaled for a touchdown, a call which stood after a replay review. That lead ultimately held, though T.J. Yates did everything he could to keep the Tar Heels in it. He directed a touchdown drive with about a minute left, but his desperate heave into traffic for the tying 2-point conversion--in the same area where Spencer came up with the TD catch--fell incomplete. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - T.J. Yates threw for 264 yards and a touchdown, and North Carolina continued its dominance of Duke by holding off the Blue Devils on Saturday. Anthony Elzy rushed for a career-high 116 yards, and he and Shaun Draughn each had short scoring runs for the Tar Heels (7-5, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who led late before Duke (3-9, 1-7) made things interesting in the final 5 minutes. They stuffed Draughn in the end zone for a safety, pulled within five on Brandon Connette s 2-yard touchdown run with 3:20 left, and forced a punt to get the ball back with 43 seconds left at the Duke 24. But they couldn t come up with a miracle finish. Austin Kelly caught Sean Renfree s last pass near midfield, but he was wrapped up as time expired before he could find someone to take a lateral. That sealed North Carolina s 20th win in 21 meetings with Duke. Renfree was 24 of 39 for 242 yards with two interceptions and a 9-yard touchdown pass to Kelly for Duke, which ended its season with a three-game losing streak. Yates was 28 of 35, reached the 9,000-yard passing mark for his career and threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Adams for the Tar Heels, who had four scoring drives of at least 80 yards and converted 65 percent of their third downs. They snapped a twogame losing streak and locked up their third straight winning season. Elzy scored on a 5-yard run and surpassed the previous high of 95 yards he set three years ago against Miami.

West Virginia 31, Carolina 30 December 27, 2008 Pat White threw for 332 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown pass to Alric Arnett midway through the fourth quarter to send West Virginia to a win over North Carolina in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. The senior quarterback was voted MVP, helping West Virginia (9-4) overcome Hakeem Nicks big day for North Carolina. Nicks caught eight passes for 217 yards and three touchdowns for the Tar Heels (8-5), but T.J. Yates was intercepted by Pat Lazear with under 2 minutes left to end Butch Davis hopes of a bowl win in his second year at North Carolina. White completed 26 of 32 passes and threw one interception. The NCAA s all-time leading rushing quarterback added 55 more yards on the ground to finish with 4,480. After J.T. Thomas recovered Shaun Draughn s fumble at the West Virginia 30, White threw a 41-yard pass over the middle to Jock Sanders, picked up nine yards on a running play and then rifled a pass between two defenders to Arnett for the goahead touchdown with 7:14 left. Yates couldn t find the dynamic Nicks on the Tar Heels final drive, eventually throwing his first interception of the game. Nicks already set three school receiving records and shattered his careerhigh in yards receiving - with 10:37 left in the second quarter. It was part of a dizzying offensive display by both teams that produced six touchdowns in the game s first 20 minutes. Nicks 25-yard TD catch from Yates early in the second quarter was his 178th career reception - another school record - and gave North Carolina a lead. The action thrilled a sellout crowd at Bank of America Stadium that included thousands of fans from both schools MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL STATS West Virginia Carolina WV - Devine 18 run (McAfee kick) (8:56, 1st) UNC - Nicks 73 pass from Yates (Barth kick) (7:22, 1st) WV - Arnett 44 pass from White (McAfee kick) (5:11, 1st) UNC - Nicks 66 pass from Arnold (Barth kick) (4:57, 1st) WV - Starks 35 pass from White (McAfee kick) (2:35, 1st) UNC - Team safety (13:23, 2nd) UNC - Nicks 25 pass from Yates (Barth kick) (10:37, 2nd) WV - McAfee 25 FG (9:00, 3rd) UNC - Yates 4 run (Barth kick) (4:29, 3rd) WV - Arnett 20 pass from White (McAfee kick) (7:14, 4th) WV UNC First Downs Rushes-Yards Passing Yards Comp-Att-Int Plays-Total Yards (Avg) (6.1) (6.7) Punts (Avg) Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards Time of Possession 33:44 26:16 Rushing West Virginia - Devine 13-61, White 21-55, Sanders 3-10 Carolina - Draughn 17-65, Little 3-34, Houston 4-4 Passing (Comp-Att-Yds-TD-Int) West Virginia - White Carolina - Yates ; Arnold Receiving West Virginia - Arnett 7-93, Sanders 5-70, Jalloh 5-36, Starks 4-61, Urban 2-42 Carolina - Nicks 8-217, Draughn 3-11, Little 2-36, Quinn 1-5, Arnold 1-4, Rome Meineke Car Care Bowl Charlotte, N.C. Pittsburgh 19, Carolina 17 December 26, 2009 Dion Lewis rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown to pass Tony Dorsett as Pittsburgh s top freshman rusher, and Dan Hutchins kicked a 33-yard field goal with 52 seconds left to give the 17th-ranked Panthers a win over North Carolina in the Meineke Bowl. Pitt converted on fourth down at its own 30 and took advantage of a key offsides penalty to set up Hutchins fourth field goal. T.J. Yates threw two touchdown passes to Greg Little, but his incomplete pass on fourth-and-10 from his own 49 with 6 seconds left sent the Tar Heels (8-5) to their second straight bowl loss in Charlotte. Yates was 19 of 32 for 183 yards and an interception while Little caught seven passes for 87 yards and Ryan Houston rushed for 83 yards. But North Carolina s defense, which came in sixth in the nation overall and ninth against the run, struggled to contain the shifty Lewis. The matchup featured old coaching buddies who won a national championship and Super Bowl together. Pitt s Dave Wannstedt and Davis worked on Jimmy Johnson s staffs at Oklahoma State, Miami and the Dallas Cowboys. Their careers then included NFL head coaching jobs before they returned to college. Facing a fourth-and-1 from his own 30 with 6:36 left, Bill Stull got 3 yards on a quarterback keeper. Lewis was later stuffed on third down, leaving Wannstedt with another decision on fourth-and-2 from the North Carolina 30 with 1:30 left. He brought out the field goal unit, but North Carolina s Cam Thomas jumped offsides, giving Pitt a first down. Lewis got 13 yards on the next play, and his 6-yard run into the middle of the field set it up for Hutchins and erased an earlier blunder MEINEKE CAR CARE BOWL STATS Pittsburgh Carolina UNC - Little 15 pass from Yates (Barth kick) (6:57, 1st) PITT - Hutchins 31 FG (14:11, 2nd) PITT - Lewis 11 run (Hutchins kick) (11:08, 2nd) UNC - Barth 37 FG (1:05, 2nd) PITT - Hutchins 31 FG (0:00, 2nd) UNC - Little 14 pass from Yates (Barth kick) (4:00, 3rd) PITT - Hutchins 33 FG (0:52, 4th) PITT UNC First Downs Rushes-Yards Passing Yards Comp-Att-Int Plays-Total Yards (Avg) (4.9) (4.3) Punts (Avg) Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards Time of Possession 29:25 30:35 Rushing Pittsburgh - Lewis Carolina - Houston 24-83, Little 1-31 Passing (Comp-Att-Yds-TD-Int) Pittsburgh - Stull ( ) Carolina - Yates ) Receiving Pittsburgh - Shanahan 5-83, Dickerson 4-21, Baldwin 3-31, Hynoski 3-20 Carolina - Little 7-87, Highsmith 3-38, Pianalto 2-26, White 2-17, Houston TARHEELBLUE.COM
