NORTH CAROLINA PREVIEW • TAR HEEL NOTEBOOK
irterback T.J. Yates
back as his third
year as a starter.
Preview
A year after emerging as one of the most improved
teams in the country, North Carolina heads into 200°
with renewed optimism about the future of its football
program. The Tar Heels won eight games in 2008 and
earned the program's first bowl berth since 2004. Caroli-
na carried that positive momentum into the offseason by
signing a top 10 recruiting class in early February.
"Last year we flipped the win total from four victo-
ries to eight and advanced to a bowl game," said head
coach Butch Davis. "We're heading in the right direction
and we'll look to carry that momentum into the fall. It's
an exciting time to be a part of Carolina football."
Davis and his staff, which includes three new as-
sistant coaches, have some key holes to fill as they look
toward the season opener on Sept. 5 . For starters, the Tar
Heels must plug two holes on the offensive line at right
tackle and left guard and must build depth across the
line. Carolina must replace three-year starters Garrett
Ryenolds, who was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, and
offensive guard Calvin Darity. Davis would like to play
as many as 9-10 offensive linemen in a game and may
be forced to play a few incoming freshmen. Three-year
starting left tackle Kyle Jolly is a potential all-conference
selection, and Lowell Dyer returns at center, but the
other three positions are unsettled.
Another position of great need is wide receiver where
Carolina lost six players from a year ago, including NFL
draft picks Hakeem Nicks. Brandon Tate and Brooks
Foster. Nicks declared early for the NFL Draft after set-
ting 14 Carolina receiving records in just three seasons.
Carolina lost players that accounted for 17 of its 21
receiving touchdowns in 200X. The Tar Heels recruited
well at wide receiver, and several true freshmen will get
an opportunity to play. Joshua Adams enrolled in Janu-
ary, participated in spring ball and has done a good job
learning the offense.
Carolina's needs are not as great on defense where
the Tar Heels return a league-high nine starters, includ-
ing second-team All-ACC cornerback Kcndi ic Burney
and standout linebackers Quan Sturdivant and Bruce
Carter. Gone are middle linebacker Mark Paschal I 103
tackles in 1 1 games) and All-America safety Trimane
Goddard who led the nation with seven interceptions.
Sturdivant will slide to middle linebacker this fall,
opening up competition at outside linebacker. Da'Norris
Searcy had 10 of his 25 tackles last year in the bowl
game vs. West Virginia and he begins the fall competing
with Jonathan Smith and Matt Mcrletti for the vacant
safety spot.
2009 Schedule
Seven home games, including the Inst Thursday night
home game in UNC history, highlight the 2009 North
Carolina football schedule.
Eight of the Tar Heels' 12 opponents played in a
bowl game last season, including Florida State, which
returns to Kenan Stadium for the first time since 2003.
The Tar Heels and Seminoles will meet over Carolina's
[•'all Break on Thursday, Oct. 22 in an ESPN nationally
televised game. The following week. Carolina goes on
the road to Virginia Tech for another ESPN Thursday
night game in Blacksburg, Va.
Carolina's home slate features games against The
Citadel (Sept. 5), East Carolina (Sept. 19). Virginia (Oct.
3). Georgia Southern (Oct. 10). Florida State (Oct. 22),
Duke (Nov. 7) and Miami (Nov. 14). The 2009 home
schedule marks the first time Carolina and Duke have
not ended the year since 2005.
The Tar Heels" road schedule features
contests at Connecticut (Sept. 12), Georgia
Tech (Sept. 26). Virginia Tech (Oct. 29).
Boston College (Nov. 21 ) and NC State
(Nov. 28).
January Enrollees
from a sen ago
Reddick spent one summer session in ( hapcl 1 1 ill last
year and then attended Hargrave Military Academy lor
one semester Reddick missed Carolina's 2009 spring
workouts due to mononucleosis. A native ol New Bern
N.C., Reddick was one ol the lop players in the state as ,i
high school senioi in 2008.
Letterwinners
North Carolina returns 37 letterwinners from last sea-
son's .S-5 squad, including a league-best nine defensive
starters. The Tar Heels welcome back 21 letterwinners
on defense and 15 on offense. The returning starters
on defense include DE E.J. Wilson, DT Cam Thomas.
DT Marvin Austin, DE Robert Quinn, LB Bruce Carter.
LB Quan Sturdivant, CB Kendric Burney, CB Jordan
Hemby and S Deunta Williams. The six offense starters
returning are QB T.J. Yates, TB Shaun Draughn, IB
Bobby Rome, OT Kyle Jolly, C Lowell Dyer and OG
Alan Pelc.
Staff Additions
North Carolina hired assistant coaches Troy Douglas.
Art Kaufman and Allen Mogndge in February. Douglas
will coach the defensive backs. Kaufman will be
responsible for the linebackers and Mogridgc will tutor
the tight ends.
Douglas comes to Carolina after a successful three-
year stint at South Florida. Kaufman is a 25-year coach-
ing veteran who has served as a defensive coordinator
in the Southeastern Conference. Mogridge is a former
Tar Heel letterwinner who was on Buffalo's staff for
seven years. Mogridge played four different positions at
Carolina from 1996-99 and played in two Gator Bowls
and the 1998 Las Vegas Bowl.
Signing Day Success
Most analysts agree that North Carolina
Wide receiver Joshua Adams and
linebacker Kevin Reddick enrolled at
North Carolina in January. Both arc-
expected to compete for playing time
as true freshmen.
Adams is a highly-recruited
player who originally committed to
the Tar Heels as a junior. He was
ranked by nearly every recruiting
analyst as one of the top receiv-
ers in the country. He will have
plenty of opportunities this spring
as the Tar Heels look to replace
nearly the entire receiving corps

Kenan Stadium Renovations
Renovation of the Kenan Football Center began after
the 2008 season. An additional floor (level five) was
added to the existing structure and renovations were
made throughout the building. The fifth floor contains
office and recruiting space for the day-to-day operations
of the football program, four premium gameday suites,
a larger video and studio facility and a state-of-the-art
press conference area. The recruiting area and suites
also will be used as academic study areas during the
week. The second floor was completely renovated for
increased football meeting spaces, including bigger indi-
vidual position meeting rooms and a larger team meeting
room. The fourth floor renovations included additional
office space for football support staff.
New lockers were installed on the first floor and the
restrooms were renovated throughout the facility.
Carolina officials have adopted a master plan for
Kenan Stadium and additional renovations are scheduled
to begin after 2009.
UNC Tied For Sixth-Most Improved Record in 2008
North Carolina had a four-win improvement in 2008
from the 2007 season. UNC finished with an 8-5 mark
last year, compared with a 4-8 record two seasons ago.
The four-win turnaround tied for the sixth-best turn-
around in the nation. The Tar Heels topped three ranked
teams - No. 24 Connecticut, No. 23 Boston College and
No. 22 Georgia Tech - and played in the Meineke Car
Care Bowl vs. West Virginia.
Player Notes
• Over a span of two games last season, LB Bruce
Carter blocked four consecutive punts. Carter blocked
the final punt by Miami on Oct. 17, then blocked the first
three punt attempts by then 24th-ranked Connecticut to
set an ACC record and unofficial NCAA record for most
consecutive blocked punts.
• Linebacker Quan Sturdivant led the nation last year
with 87 solo tackles and ranked third in the ACC and
20th in the country in tackles per game.
• Tailback Shaun Draughn rushed for 866 yards last
season, the most at UNC since Jonathan Linton had
1.004 in 1997.
• Senior Lowell Dyer is one of five ACC pivotmen
named to the preseason watch list for the Rimington
Trophy, presented annually to the nation's best center.
Yates Aims For Efficiency
North Carolina offensive coordinator John Shoop
believes the top statistic for a quarterback is pass ef-
ficiencey. Entering the 2009 season, junior signal caller
T.J. Yates has a career pass efficiency rating of 131 .56,
which ranks fifth all-time at UNC. Yates missed half of
the 2008 season with an ankle injury, but still managed
to record a pass effi ciency mark of 153.04 last year
and his career pass efficiency mark is third best among
returning ACC QBs behind only NC State's Russell Wil-
son (133.93) and Wake Forest's Riley Skinner (132.34).
In the UNC career records, Yates ranks third in
completion percentage (.598), sixth in passing yards
(3,823), seventh in completions (299). eighth in attempts
(500) and ninth in touchdowns (25).
Position-By-Position Preview
Offensive Line: The trio of Kyle Jolly, Alan Pelc and
Lowell Dyer combined to start 29 games last year and
form a solid nucleus of talent returning in 2009. Jolly
is entering his third year as a starter at tackle and should
contend for All-ACC honors. Pelc came on strong last
year to earn a starting spot at guard. Dyer, a two-time
All-ACC Academic honoree, has started at center in each
of the last two seasons.
The Tar Heels will have to replace three-year starters
Garrett Reynolds and Calvin Darity. Reynolds was a
second-team All-ACC pick and consistently graded out
as the team's top lineman. Finding their successors
will be offensive line coach Sam Pittman's top priority.
Junior Mike Ingersoll and sophomore Carl Gaskins are
the top candidates at tackle. At guard, the unexpected
departure of Aaron Stahl leaves an opportunity for red-
shirt freshman Jonathan Cooper, who was impressive on
the scout team last year and has good quickness. Kevin
Bryant battled injuries last year, but will challenge for
playing time this spring at both guard and tackle. Cam
Holland provides depth at center.

Wide Receivers & Tight K.nds: North Carolina
must completely rebuild its receiving corps alter losing
WR Hakeem Nicks (first round), TE Richard Quinn
(second round), WR Brandon Tate (third round), WR
Brooks Foster (fifth round) to the NFL draft. Carolina
loses players that accounted for 1 7 of its 2 1 receiving
touchdowns from 2008.
The only returning player with significant playing
experience is Greg Little, who began his career as a
wide receiver, moved to running back from the end of
his freshman year and first part of his sophomore season,
before moving back to wideout. He had I I catches in
2008 and is expected to earn one of the starting positions
this season. Freshman Dwight Jones and sophomore
Rashad Mason played sparingly last year, but both have
the talent to earn a starting position. Other candidates
include Todd Harrelson. who redshirted last year, and
highly-touted Joshua Adams, who joined the team in
January. Johnny White, who is one of the fastest players
on the team, has moved to wide receiver after playing
most of his career at tailback. Zack Pianalto. Christian
Wilson. Ryan Taylor and Ed Barham will compete at
tight end/h-back. Pianalto was injured much of the 2008
season, but has shown the ability to be a productive
player when healthy. Wilson saw significant time as a
true freshman and has a lot of promise. Taylor is a good
special teams player who has played both offense and
defense during his career. Barham is a good blocker
who is improving as a receiver.
Returnees: TE Ed Barham, WR Todd Harrelson, TE

nearly every component of its 2009 offensive backfield,
including all of their running backs from a year ago and
starting quarterback T.J. Yates. The only loss is Camer-
on Sexton, who elected to graduate early and transfer to
Catawba. Shaun Draughn became the starting tailback
midway through the season and rushed for 866 yards, the
most by a UNC tailback since Jonathan Linton in 1997.
Ryan Houston provided a powerful punch off the bench,
leading the team with eight touchdowns, including six
from just a yard out.
While Draughn and Houston will still receive a bulk
Three-year starter E.J. Wilson
anchors a defensive line that
returns all four starters.
of the work at tailback, redshirt
freshman Jamal Womble will
have an opportunity to showcase
his talents. He was a highly-
recruited tailback the Tar Heels
signed out of Arizona last year
who has good speed, a low center
of gravity and a quick, powerful
burst. He was impressive in the
spring and had a team-best 50
yards rushing in the spring game.
It will be interesting to see what
added dimension he brings to the
ground game.
The Tar Heels are well
stocked at fullback with Bobby
Rome and Anthony Elzy. Rome
is a powerful blocker with good
hands. Both players are solid
receivers out of the backfield.
Yates returns as the starter at
quarterback for the third year.
He will face competition from
sophomore Mike Paulus. who
started one game last season
when Yates went down with an
injury, and redshirt freshman

Defensive Line: This is arguably Carolina's deepset
position with all four starters returning and several
promising young players among the rotation. At times.
Carolina played as many as nine defensive linemen per
game in 2008. Defensive end Robert Quinn became a
starter in the second game of the season and finished
third in the ACC's defensive rookie of the year voting.
Senior defensive tackle Cam Thomas is coming off his
best season at UNC and returns for his third year as a
starter. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin and end E.J.
Wilson played well in 2008. and
will look to increase their produc-
tivity this year. Reserves Quinton
Copies and Michael McAdoo had
solid rookie seasons and will push
Wilson and Quinn for playing
time. Alcric Mullins and Tydreke
Powell are interchangeable with
Austin and Thomas as starters at
tackle.

Linebackers: Carolina returns
two all-star candidates in Quan
Sturdivant and Bruce Carter at
linebacker. Sturdivant led the nation with 87 solo tackles
and ranked third in the ACC in total tackles per game.
Carter was a one-man blocking machine, leading the
country with live blocks in 200X Sturdivant will slide
to middle linebacker this fall, creating an opening al
the weakside linebacker position lor speed) sophomore
Zach Brown.
Although short on experience, (he Tar Heels have as
much depth at linebacker as they have in recent memory.
Carter and Sturdivant started every game last year, but
the live other players have seen little playing time except
on special teams. Freshman Kevin Reddick enrolled in
January after a semester at Hargrave Military Academy,
but missed spring practice with mononucleosis. Brown
won the competition for the last starling spot in the
spring, but he will have to lend off competition from
sophomore Linvvan Euwell, converted safety Herman
Davidson and redshirt freshman Dion Guy.

Defensive Backs: Carolina returns three of four
starters in the defensive backfield. including second-
team All-ACC pick Kendnc Burney, 2007 ACC
Defensive Freshman of the Year Deunta Williams and
senior cornerback Jordan Hemby. The graduation of
All-America safety and three-year starter Trimane God-
dard is a significant loss. Da'Norris Searcy, who had his
career performance in the bowl game will be given every
chance to win the job. but will face competition from
juniors Matt Merletti and Jonathan Smith. Williams
missed the spring due to a wrist surgery, but should be
completely healthy this fall. Senior Melvin Williams
had a great spring and will be ready if called upon.
Hemby and Charles Brown were even coming out of the
spring, and both are expected to be solid contributors
in 2009. LeCount Fantroy and Brian Gupton will also
compete for playing time at corner.

Specialists: The unexpected departure of Jay Wooten
leaves the Tar Heels with just one place-kicker - sopho-
more Casey Barth - with any experience entering the
fall. Barth was the Tar Heels' primary field goal kicker
in 2008 and connected on 10 of 14 attempts.
Carolina has no punter on the roster with any game
experience. Walk-on Grant Schallock handled the punt-
ing duties in the spring and was impressive. He will be
pushed by signee C.J. Feagles.
Carolina's special teams suffered a major loss last
year when punt and kickoff return man Brandon Tate
was lost for the season midway through the \ ear. Johnny
White did a good job late in the season and has the
inside track on returning kickoffs. The Tar Heels are still
searching for the right answer on punt returns and could
look to fill the void with an incoming freshman.

"The number one thing I've noticed about Carolina players is
that they are all hard workers. When you bring a guy to camp
that is undrafted, like Willie, Greg and Jeff were, they all
come prepared to work hard. Coach Davis has been very
open to everything we need in terms of evaluating players.
Scouts really enjoy coming here."

If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the Atlantic Coast
Conference over the years has proven itself to be among the elite in Division l-A
football. In 2008, the ACC won more non-conference games than ever before,
posting a 41-17 record including 17-14 (.548 winning percentage) against teams
from the SEC, Big Ten, PAC-10, Big 12 and Big East Conferences.
This past season, the ACC set an NCAA record sending 10 of its teams to post-
season bowl games. Since 2005, no conference has had as many bowl game partici-
pants as the ACC, which has sent 34 teams to bowls in the four-year span.
In 2008, the ACC broke its own NCAA record of percentage of teams going to
bowl games set in 2002, as 83.3 percent of its teams were in post-season play.

§ NORTH CAROLINA STAFF PROFILES • HEAD COACH BUTCH DAVIS
North Carolina head coach Butch
Davis has brought energy and enthusi-
asm back to the Tar Heel football pro-
gram 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.
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 1953.
Introduced as North Carolina's
head coach on Nov. 13, 2006, Davis
quickly rejuvenated the fan base and
brought excitement to every Saturday
at Kenan Stadium. Beginning with his
first Carolina recruiting class in 2007,
which many analysts ranked among
the top 10 in the country, Davis has
connected with student-athletes and
fans alike with his brand of fast, hard-
nosed, disciplined football.
Over the past two seasons, Caro-
lina has sold out 12 of 13 contests,
increased average attendance by nearly
18 percent and sold a school-record
36.250 season tickets in 2008.
Carolina improved from 4-8 in
2007 to 8-5 in 2008, the sixth-best
turnaround in the country. The
Tar Heels won games over bowl
teams Rutgers, Miami, Con-
necticut, Notre Dame, Boston
College and Georgia Tech
and were in the hunt for the
2008 ACC championship
until the final week of
the season. Carolina's
eight wins were its
most since 2001. The
Tar Heels earned an in-
vitation to the Meineke Car
Care Bowl in Charlotte, its
first postseason game since
2004. UNC sold more than
22,000 tickets (10,000 more
than its allotment) in just one
week of sales and had an esti-
mated 40,000 fans in attendance.
"We are building a program to
compete at the highest level for a
national championship," says Da-
vis, who won a national title as an
assistant coach with Miami in 1987.
"It's a process that takes time and we
are heading in the right direction. The
steps we take are not always evident
on the field, but are also accomplished
in the classroom, the weight room and
other areas off the field. We are climb-
ing the mountain."
Davis's first season in Chapel Hill
was highlighted by an impressive 33-
27 win over Miami, in which he earned
his first ACC victory against his former
school. Carolina was competitive
in nearly every game, with
six losses decided by a
combined total of just
24 points. Statistically,
Carolina finished 35th
in the country in total
defense, improving
nearly 60 positions
from the previous year.
Several indi-
viduals have benefitted
from Davis's return to
the college game, none
more than defensive
tackle Kentwan Balmer and wide
receiver Hakeem Nicks, both of whom
became first-round draft picks under
Davis' tutelage.
Balmer had career highs in
tackles and sacks in 2007, earned
all-conference honors for the first time
and was selected in the first round by
the San Francisco 49ers. Last year,
Nicks finished an outstanding three-
year career with 14 school records and
was selected in the first round by the
New York Giants. Nicks became the
30th first-round draft choice Davis has
produced as a college coach. Many
observers agree that Davis and his
staff prepare players for professional
football better than any other group in
the country.
"Coach Davis taught me how
to be a professional player,"
says Balmer. "I know
I still have a lot to
learn, but I think I
understand more of
what it takes to be
an NFL player now
than I did before. I
wouldn't be a first-
round draft pick
without his help and
guidance."
"Coach Davis
prepares players
incredibly well for the NFL," says
Nicks. "Without his help and the as-
sistant coaches, I would not be where
I am today."
Carolina had an ACC-best five
players picked in the 2009 NFL Draft,
including Nicks, second-round pick
Richard Quinn, third-rounder Brandon
Tate and fifth-round picks Garrett
Reynolds and Brooks Foster. Add
defensive end Hilee Taylor (Carolina
Panthers) and place-kicker Connor
Barth (Kansas City Chiefs) from
the previous season and UNC has
produced seven NFL players in just
two years.
But statistics and draft choices
don't reveal the full story. Davis has
hired an outstanding staff of assistant
coaches, brought in three consecu-
tive recruiting classes stocked with
some of the nation's top high school
players, and produced an entertaining
product on the field. In addition, the
University is currently underway with
a renovation of Kenan Stadium that
will enhance the overall fan experience
and provide much-needed recruit-
ing and office space for the football
program. A fifth floor was added to
the Kenan Football Center following
the 2008 season. The floor contains
additional space for the day-to-day
operations of the football program,
four premium gameday suites, a larger
video and studio facility and a state-
of-the-art press conference area. The
recruiting area and suites will also be
used as academic study areas during
the week. The second floor was
completely renovated for increased
football meeting spaces, includ-
ing bigger individual position
meeting rooms and a larger team
meeting room. The fourth floor
renovations include additional
office space for football sup-
port staff.
No stranger to success,
Davis has coached in 12
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 assis-
tant coach with the Dallas
Cowboys. An excellent
motivator and techni-
cian, Davis recruited or
coached a number of
players at Miami who
were selected in the NFL
Draft, including an
amazing 28 first-round
picks.
Prior to his arrival
in Chapel Hill, Davis
served as an analyst on

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.
"When I looked at everything
North Carolina had to offer in terms of
a great campus setting, access to play-
ers and the proper balance between
athletics and academies, 1 knew this
would be a good fit for me and my
family." said Davis.
Davis was head coach for six
seasons at Miami (1995-2000) and
led the Hurricanes to a 51-20 record,
three Big East Conference champion-
ships and lour 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.
In his first year in Coral Gables.
Davis helped the Canes earn a share
of the Big East Conference Cham-
pionship by winning seven straight
games to close the '95 season. The
team would have received an invita-
tion to a BCS bowl game, however,
Miami declined the invitation due to
NCAA sanctions previously approved
by university officials for violations
prior to Davis's arrival.
Davis again led Miami to a share
of the Big East title in 1996 and cata-
pulted the Hurricanes to a top 20 rank-
ing and their first bowl victory in five
years with a 31-21 win over Virginia
in the Carquest Bowl. The following
season he led Miami to a 46-23 win
over North Carolina State in the 1998
Micron PC Bowl.
Davis's 1999 squad began the
year with a 23-12 victory over Ohio
State in the Kickoff Classic and
capped the season with a 28-13 victory
over Georgia Tech in the Toyota Gator
Bowl, the Hurricanes' first New Year's
Day bowl game under Davis.
In his final year at Miami (2000).
the Hurricanes posted an 11-1 mark.
including a 37-20 victory
over Florida in the Nokia
Sugar Bowl. That team
was second in the nation
in scoring, filth in total
offense, fifth in scoring
defense and eighth in pass
defense.
Davis also empha-
sizes the importance of
academics, and his Hur-
ricanes earned recognition
from the American Foot-
ball Coaches Association
for outstanding graduation
rates in each of his six
seasons.
Davis left Coral
Gables following the
2000 season to join the Cleveland
Browns. In his first season in Cleve-
land 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).
Cleveland led the NFL in takeaways
with 42. including a league-high and
team-record 33 interceptions. The
Browns defense also scored 32 points
(four interception returns, one fumble
return, one safety). His second season
as head coach resulted in the Browns
earning their first playoff appearance
and best regular season mark since
1994, despite 34 of the 53 players on
the team's final active roster having
four years of NFL experience or less.
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 1988.
Cleveland was Davis' second stint
in the NFL. He was a defensive as-
sistant with the Dallas Cowboys from
1989-94 and was defensive coordina-
tor in 1993 anil 1994. 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 spec-
tacular 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' 52-17 win over Buffalo
in Super Bowl XXVII and served as
The Davis Family: Drew, Tammy and Butch
defensive coordinator in the Cowboys'
30- 1 3 win over Buffalo in Super Bowl
XXVIII. As defensive line coach in
1992, Davis helped the Cowboys lead
the NFL in rushing defense. As coor-
dinator a year later, the Cowboys set a
team record by allowing just 21 touch-
downs in 16 regular-season games and
allowed one offensive touchdown or
less in 12 of 16 games.
Davis was also de- , —
fensive coordinator dur-
ing Barry Switzer's first
season as head coach in
1994 and helped Dallas
reach the NFC Champion-
ship Game, where eventual
Super Bowl champion San
Francisco denied its bid
for a three-peat. Davis's
defense was No. 1 in the
league in total defense
(269.6 yards per game)
and pass defense (172.0
yards per game), and third
in scoring defense (15.5
points per game). He
coached three Pro Bowl
starters - end Charles
Haley, tackle Leon Lett
and safety Darren Wood-
son. The three defensive
starters were the most for
the Cowboys since 1983.
Davis was defensive
line coach at Miami from
1984-88 under head coach
Jimmy Johnson, whom
he also coached under for
five years in Dallas and
five years at Oklahoma State. The Hur-
ricanes went 52-9 in those five years
and won the national championship
after beating Oklahoma in the Orange
Bowl to cap a perfect 12-0 record in
1987. He coached 15 linemen who

NORTH CAROLINA STAFF PROFILES • ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH JOHN BLAKE
John Blake enters his third season
on the North Carolina staff as the Tar
Heels' associate head coach, recruiting
coordinator and defensive line coach.
Blake, who coached with Butch Davis
in Dallas, has developed some of the
top defensive linemen in the country
at all levels, including high school,
college and the NFL.
In 2008, Blake developed a
unit that regularly played seven to
eight players per game. Among the
highlights of that group was defen-
sive tackle Marvin Austin, who tied
with E.J. Wilson for the most tackles
among defensive linemen with 38.
True freshman Robert Quinn quickly
become a force at defensive end and
was third in the league's defensive
rookie of the year voting. Quinn was
diagnosed with a brain tumor as a high
school senior, but became a starter at
Carolina in the Tar Heels' second game
at Rutgers and won the ACC's Piccolo
Award as the league's most courageous
player. Tackle Cam Thomas also had
his best season in 2008 under Blake's
guidance.
In 2007. North Carolina defensive
lineman Kentwan Balmer and Hilee
Taylor both became NFL Draft picks
in one season with Blake. Balmer was
selected by the San Francisco 49ers
with the 29th pick in the first round
and Taylor was taken in the seventh
round by Carolina.
Blake earned rave reviews from
NFL Draft analysts for his ability to
develop Balmer into a first-round
selection in just one year of
coaching. "Kentwan had a great
senior year under the tutelage of John
Blake, who I think is one of the best
defensive line coaches at any level,"
said ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.
In addition to his abilities as a de-
fensive line coach, Blake is considered
by many observers as the nation's top
recruiter. In each of the past three
years, at least one recruiting publica-
tion has named Blake the nation's best
recruiter. Most recently, three Sporting
News recruiting analysts named him
the best in 2009. He also earned the
same distinction from CSTV's Tom
Lemming in 2008 and the Wall Street
Journal and American Football Quar-
terly in 2007.
In February, Carolina signed a
consensus top 10 recruiting class,
including a ranking of No. 5 by Scout,
com. It was the third consecutive
outstanding recruiting class under
Blake. In his first year at UNC, Blake
was responsible for the recruitment of
Austin, the nation's No. 1 high school
defensive player.
Blake came to Carolina after serv-
ing three seasons at the University of
Nebraska, where he coached several
outstanding defensive linemen, includ-
ing 2007 NFL first-round draft pick
Adam Carriker ( 1 3th overall). The
Huskers defensive line was ranked the
top defensive line unit in the country
by CollegeFootballNews.com in 2006.
Davis and Blake previously worked
together as members of Jimmy John-
son's staff with the Dallas Cowboys.
Blake joined the Dallas staff as
defensive line coach after Davis was
promoted to defensive coordinator in
1993. That year, Dallas ranked eighth
in the league in total defense and
beat Buffalo, 30-13, in Super Bowl
XXVIII. After Davis left to become the
head coach at Miami in 1995, Blake
remained in Dallas and won another
Super Bowl title under head coach
Barry Switzer.
A native of Rockford, 111.,
Blake played for Switzer at
Oklahoma from 1979-82,
where he earned All- Big
Eight honors at nose
guard. He later returned
to his alma
mater to serve
as head coach of
the Sooners from
1996-98.
At Oklahoma,
Blake began as a
student assistant
working with the
defensive line in 1985
The Blake Family: Jourdan, Freda & John
and earned a national championship
ring that season. The Sooners lost just
two games during his first tenure on
the staff.
Blake's first full-time assistant posi-
tion was at Tulsa from 1987-88, where
he coached the tight ends and wide re-
ceivers. He returned to his alma mater
in 1989 as the Sooners' defensive line
coach, and then served as Gary Gibbs'
linebackers coach from 1990 to 1992.
After Johnson hired Blake
in Dallas, five players made
the Pro Bowl during his
three seasons. Blake's
defensive line was
considered one of the best
in the NFL during his
ft
tenure. Among others. Blake tutored
Pro Bowlers Charles Haley, Russell
Maryland. Leon Lett, Chad Henning.
Tony Tolbert and Jim Jeffcoat.
Blake earned his bachelor's degree
in public relations and recreation from
Oklahoma in 1986. He and his wife.

^m NORTH CAROLINA STAFF PROFILES • ASSISTANT COACH KEN BROWNING
The longest tenured assistant coach
at North Carolina, Ken Browning en-
ters his 16th season with the Tar Heels
and third as the running backs coach.
Browning has coached on the offen-
sive and defensive side of the ball at
UNC, including three seasons as tight
ends coach (2001-04) and 11 years as
defensive tackles coach ( 1994-2000,
2005-06). Butch Davis is the fourth
head coach Browning has worked
under at North Carolina. Browning
also oversees Carolina's camps
and clinics.
In 2008, Browning helped
develop the sophomore tandem
of Shaun Draught) and Ryan
Houston into one of the top tail-
back combinations in the league.
Draughn steadily climbed the
ACC rushing ranks to finished
sixth in the league, while
Houston led the team
with eight rushing
touchdowns.
Draughn 's 866
yards were
the most by a
UNC tailback
since Jonathan
Linton in 1997.
Overall, the Tar
Heels had their
best rushing at-
tack in four years,
averaging 122.6
yards and scoring
18 touchdowns.
In 2007,
Browning had the
unique challenge of
coaching a position
group comprised
of all freshmen and
sophomores. In
fact, Carolina began
the year with just
one player who had
any experience as
a college running
back. That player was
sophomore Richie
Rich, who later
moved to cornerback.
Carolina's top four
rushers last season
were all freshmen -
Johnny White, Greg
Little, Anthony Elzy
and Ryan Houston.
Little started the last
two games against
Georgia Tech and Duke
and was the starter in 2008 for the first
half of the season.
In 16 seasons in Chapel Hill,
Browning has developed a number
of outstanding players, including
first-round NFL draft picks Vonnie

eighth as an assistant athletie director.
While his primary focus is the football
team's strength and conditioning, Con-
nors oversees the department's entire
strength and conditioning program
and also works specifically with the
women's basketball team.

outscored their opponents, 102-56, in
the final period. In 2000, ECU had a

in the country in rushing, averaging
more than 180 yards per game. Wolfe
finished his career as NIU's all-time
leading rusher and is the 1 lth-leading
rusher in NCAA history. The Huskies'
offensive line played particularly
well in the 2006 season opener at No.
1 Ohio State as NIU gained 171 yards
on the ground.
In 2005, the Huskies were 16th na-
tionally in rushing, averaging 206.7

offense despite having just one senior
starter. Yates, an unknown commodity
prior to the start of the season finished
fourth all-time among ACC freshmen
in single-season passing yardage and
was selected first-team freshman All-
America by The Sporting News. Yates
set the single-season school record for
passing yards and Nicks set a school
mark with 74 receptions.
Wide receiver Brandon Tate
became one of the best big-play threats
in the conference in Shoop's offense,
averaging more than 20 yards per
catch. Versatile athlete Greg Little has
been a productive player at both wide
receiver and tailback as Shoop always
finds ways to get the ball to the team's
top playmakers.
Shoop came to Chapel Hill
after serving two seasons with the
Oakland Raiders. He was Oakland's
quarterbacks coach in 2005, the
tight ends coach in 2006 and was
elevated to offensive coordinator
for the final live games of the
2006 season.
Shoop spent the 2004 season
as quarterbacks coach for the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers under head coach
Jon Gruden. He worked five seasons
(1999-2003) for the Chicago Bears
under head coach Dick Jauron.
including three as the offensive
coordinator (2001-03). Shoop was
promoted to Chicago's offensive
coordinator position after spending
the 1999-2000 seasons as the Bears
quarterbacks coach. At the time, he
was one of the youngest coordinators
in NFL history.
In his first season as the coordina-
tor in Chicago, Shoop revitalized the
Chicago offense and helped lead the
Bears to the NFC Central Division
title with a 13-3 record. That season,
tailback Anthony Thomas earned Of-
fensive Rookie of the Year honors after
setting a Bears' rookie rushing record
with 1 ,183 yards, and quarterback Jim
Miller had his most productive season
as a pro.
Under Shoop's direction in 2002.
the Bears offense produced Pro Bowl
wide receiver Marty Booker, who be-
came the first Chicago receiver to earn
all-star game honors since 1971 .
Prior to joining the Bears, Shoop
spent four seasons with the Carolina
Panthers, where he began his NFL
coaching career at the age of 25.
Shoop was an offensive
quality control assistant
for the Panthers in
1995-96 where he
was a member of
a staff that led the
team to the NFC
Championship
Game in 1996. He
was then promoted
to quarter-
backs

i NORTH CAROLINA STAFF PROFILES • ASSISTANT COACH CHARLIE WILLIAMS
Charlie Williams enters his third
season as North Carolina's wide
receivers coach.
One example of Williams' impact
on the program was the development
of tirst-team AU-ACC wide receiver
Hakeem Nicks, who finished his
three-year Carolina career in 2008 with
14 school records. Nicks set school
records for career and single-season
receiving yardage and after a remark-
able 217-yard performance in the
Meineke Car Care Bowl, declared for
the NFL Draft. He was selected in the
first round (29th overall) by the New
York Giants.
Nicks' teammate Brandon Tale
became a big play receiver under
Williams' tutelage. Before Williams
arrived, Tate had just five catches
for 72 yards. In the two years under
Williams, Tate caught 41 balls for 855
yards (20.9 average) and eight touch-
downs in just 18 games.
All three of Carolina's starting
wide receivers last year were selected
in the 2009 NFL Draft. In addition
to Nicks, Tate was taken in the third
round by the New England Patriots
and Brooks Foster went to St.
Louis in the fifth round.
Williams, who coached
wide receivers with head
coach Butch Davis at the
University of Miami,
came to Carolina after
serving as the Univer-
sity of Arizona's wide
receivers coach from
2004-06.
A 24-year coaching
veteran, Williams spent
six seasons as receivers
coach with Tony Dungy
and the NFL's Tampa Bay
Buccaneers from 1996-200
tutoring standout performers
such as Keyshawn Johnson,
Reidel Anthony and Jacquez
Green. Johnson was chosen to play
in three Pro Bowls while Williams
was his position coach. The 2000
and 200 1 Tampa Bay offenses
set several franchise offensive
records, and the team advanced
to the playoffs four times during
his tenure.
Prior to his NFL stint, Wil-
liams was wide receivers coach
for three seasons at Miami, two
under Dennis Erickson and one
under Davis.
At Arizona, Williams developed
Syndric Steptoe into a big-play threat.
Steptoe was the Wildcats' leading
receiver in 2006 with 55 receptions for
568 yards. Mike Thomas, Arizona's
second-leading receiver in 2006 with
50 catches, set the freshman school
record with 52 receptions in 2005.
Williams also coached one season
for Lou Holtz at South Carolina in
2003, where he helped develop Troy
Williamson into a 2005 first-round
NFL draft pick of the Minnesota
Vikings.
In 1993 and
1994, Williams
coached Chris
T. Jones, who
led the Hur-
ricanes in
receiving
both years
The Williams Family: Charlie, Sydney, Jada, Charlie & Lisa
and had a total of 90 catches for 1 ,462
yards. The 1993 Hurricanes (9-3)
played Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl and
Jones led Miami with six catches for
98 yards.
Williams was part of the 1994
Miami staff that led the Canes
to a 10-2 finish and played
Nebraska in the Orange
Bowl.

worked two years at New Mexico State
(1986-87), four seasons at TCU (1988-
91 ) and one year at Minnesota (1992)
before joining the Miami program.
Williams played two years as a
defensive back at Colorado State

NORTH CAROLINA STAFF PROFILES • DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR EVERETT WITHERS
Charlotte, N.C., native Everett
Withers enters his second season as
North Carolina's defensive coordinator
and secondary coach.
In 2008, the opportunistic Tar Heel
defense ranked eighth in the country
with 20 interceptions, just one shy of
the school record. Carolina returned
a school-record four interceptions for
touchdowns and posted a positive turn-
over margin (0.46) for the first time in
nine years. Under Withers' guidance,
safety Trimane Goddard led the nation
in interceptions with seven en route to
first-team All-ACC and second-team
Walter Camp and Associated Press
All-America honors. He became the
first Tar Heel defensive back to earn
All-America honors since Dre' Bly in
1998.
Withers came to North Caro-
lina after serving one season as the
University of Minnesota's defensive
coordinator in 2007.
Withers spent six seasons with the
Tennessee Titans from 2001-06 under
head coach Jeff Fisher. From 2002-04,
Withers helped the Titans defense tally
57 interceptions, which was the most
for the franchise over a three-year
period since 1993-95. The 57 intercep-
tions also ranked fourth in the AFC
and eighth overall during that time.
The Titans totaled 21 picks in 2004,
including 16 by the secondary.
In 2002, Withers directed a
revamped secondary that added
safeties Lance Schulters and
rookie Tank Williams. The
new arrangement helped the
defense earn a top 10 ranking
and Schulters' six intercep-
tions were the most by a
Titans safety since 1993.
Withers also developed
Andre Dyson into a starter as
a rookie in 2001 and helped
him total 16 interceptions
during his four-year Titan
career, including six
his final season.
Prior to working
with the Titans, With-
ers was defensive
backs coach under
Mack Brown
at Texas from
1998-2000,
where he guided
a Longhorns
secondary which
improved from
75th in the nation in pass defense in
1997 (132.7 efficiency rating) to first
in the nation in 2000 (88.02). Withers
is credited with helping a young corps
of defensive backs improve in a num-
ber of statistical categories.
Withers joined the Longhorns after
three seasons ( 1995-97) as defensive
coordinator at Louisville. His 1996
defensive unit ranked fourth nation-
ally in both total defense (235.8) and
rushing defense (81.1) and led the
NCAA in forced turnovers (41 ). While
at Louisville, Withers helped current
New York Giants All-Pro cornerback
Sam Madison earn All-America honors
for the Cardinals.
Withers' first National Football
League experience came with the New
Orleans Saints where he worked as
defensive quality control
in 1994. Prior to

4» NORTH CAROLINA STAFF PROFILES • DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DICK BADDOUR
»r
Goldsboro native and Tar Heel alumnus Dick Baddour is in his 13th year
as Director of Athletics and his 43rd at the University of North Carolina. He
directs one of the most successful and respected programs in the country ,
known for its commitment to academic integrity and competitive excellence
in men's and women's sports.
Baddour has the third-longest current tenure among Atlantic Coast Con-
ference athletic directors and is one of three to serve as Carolina's director
for 10 or more years since the Tar Heels joined the league in 1954.
During Baddour's tenure, the Tar Heels have won 1 1 national champion-
ships, including six in women's soccer, two each in men's basketball and
field hockey and one in men's soccer, won two football bowl games and
had numerous top 10 national finishes in Olympic Sports. Nineteen different
UNC men's and women's teams have combined for 61 ACC championships,
more than any other school in that time. UNC has led the league in the num-
ber of team championships in seven of the last 12 seasons.
The 2008-09 season was one of the finest in Carolina history. Women's
soccer and men's basketball won NCAA championships, men's soccer and
women's lacrosse reached the NCAA finals, baseball advanced to the Col-
lege World Series for the fourth year in a row and football played in the
Meineke Car Care Bowl. UNC became the first school in ACC history to
play in the men's basketball Final Four, the College World Series and a foot-
ball bowl game in the same year.
Carolina finished second nationally in the 2008-09 Learfield Sports Direc-
tors Cup, an award that measures NCAA postseason performance. It was
the 10th time in 12 years the Tar Heels finished first among ACC schools.
Overall, Carolina has averaged a seventh-place finish in the Directors Cup
during Baddour's tenure. At least 23 of 28
Tar Heel teams have qualified for NCAA
postseason competition in each of the last
four seasons.
The second-place finish in the Directors
Cup marked the seventh top 10 finish by the
Tar Heels in the last eight years, including
top four showings in 2006. 2007 and 2009.
By comparison, the other 1 1 ACC schools
have combined for four top 10 finishes
- and no finishes in the top four - in the
16-year-history of the Directors Cup.
The NCAA also honored six UNC
athletic teams last year - baseball, men's
basketball, women's fencing, women's golf,
men's lacrosse and volleyball - with public
recognition awards for their latest multi-
year Academic Progress Rate scores.
Baddour emphasizes academic achieve-
ment and the overall student experience.
Last year, 270 student-athletes made the
ACC Academic Honor Roll, 329 earned
Dean's List honors over the two semesters,
and all 28 sports rated well in the APR.
Eleven different programs finished the
spring with a cumulative grade point aver-
age of better than 3.0.
Five years ago, Baddour created the the
Carolina Leadership Academy, a training
program for student-athletes, coaches and
administrators. The program develops lead-
ership skills through interactive workshops.

360-degree feedback, one-on-
one coaching, peer mentoring
and educational resources.
Carolina's coaches consider
the program an overwhelming
success and it is a model for
schools across the nation.
Baddour has hired head
coaches in nine sports, in-
cluding Roy Williams, Butch
Davis and Mike Fox, overseen
renovations or created plans to
update virtually every facility
in the athletic complex, ex-
panded the direction and staff-
ing for student-athlete services
and worked tirelessly to set the
program on sound financial
footing.
Baddour has made it a top
priority to ensure the athletic
department stays financially stable. The department and Rams Club helped
to raise $280 million over the last nine seasons in support of the Carolina
First campaign, increasing the scholarship endowment to where it is the
largest for a public school in the country. He worked out funding for facility
enhancement projects, scholarships and operating budgets. He negotiated
partnerships with Nike to outfit the athletic program, with Learfield Commu-
nications to direct UNC's multi-media properties, with Wachovia for on-site
sponsorship in the Smith Center and Aramark for concessions. The Nike deal
was widely praised as one of the most socially conscious contracts of its kind
with respect to global labor issues.
Boshamer Stadium, home of the baseball program, re-opened in 2009 after
a $25 million renovation and drew rave reviews in its first season. Currently,
the department is working on upgrades or new facilities at Kenan Stadium,
the Smith Center. Carmichael Auditorium, sports medicine and wrestling.
The athletic department and Rams Club moved into the Ernie Williamson
Athletics Center in 2007 and the Carolina Basketball Museum opened its
doors in early 2008. Nearly 40,000 visitors have toured the museum, called
one of the finest of its kind in the country.
Baddour began his UNC career in
1967 as assistant dean of men. In 1971 he
became assistant dean of undergraduate
admissions. He served as Assistant Dean at
the UNC School of Law from 1983 to 1986.
He served as the school's director of admis-
sions and scholarship programs, head of
personnel and supervisor of career planning
and placement.
Baddour spent 1 1 years as John Swof-
ford's top assistant before being named the
Director of Athletics on June 25, 1997. In
2001 . he received a Distinguished Service
Medal from the UNC General Alumni As-
sociation.
Baddour and his wife. Lynda, have three
children. Allen, a superior court judge for
Orange and Chatham Counties, and his
wife. Holly, have two sons, Henry and
Jack; David, an attorney with RTP-based
Womble-Carlyle, and his wife, Carey, have
two daughters, Lauren and Julia, and son,
Johnathan; Jennifer, a family therapist in
private practice in Cary, and her husband,
Kevin Snead, have a son, William.

Holden Thorp
CHANCELLOR
"We must make Carolina the best place to teach, learn, and discover."
A T CAROLINA, Holden Thorp has been an undergradu-
/ » ate student, a chemistry professor, a planetarium direc-
JL JL. tor, an inventor and entrepreneur, as well as a dean.
He graduated with honors, won teaching awards, led a power-
house academic department, developed technology for electronic
DNA chips, founded spin-off companies, and succeeded as
an administrator.
Now, as the 10th chancellor, Thorp is drawing from all of those
experiences in leading Carolina among the ranks of the great re-
search universities in the United States and around the world.
V
A North Carolina native, Thorp grew up in Fayetteville in
a family steeped in Carolina traditions dating to the 1800s.
His father, Herb, used to sing the alma mater, "Hark the
Sound," at bed time. When it was time to graduate from
Terry Sanford High School, there was only one school on his
college application list - UNC. He earned a bachelor of sci-
ence degree with honors in 1986.
Attending a world-class research university - where re-
search and teaching are done by the same people - gave Thorp
opportunities to work in chemistry labs alongside some of
Carolina's very best faculty. Those experiences inspired him
to become a college professor. He pursued that dream at the
California Institute of Technology, where he earned a doc-
torate in chemistry in 1989, and at Yale University for post-
graduate work. After a year teaching at N.C. State, he came
back to UNC's chemistry department in 1993.
Because he has lived it from both sides of the classroom,
Thorp is passionate about the undergraduate experience.
"Carolina is perfectly suited to leverage our students' inter-
ests in the great problems facing our world to enhance their
academic success and position
them to lead us," Thorp says.
"Our greatest contributions are
the UNC alumni who go on to
be leaders in communities across
North Carolina."
He says the University's future
depends on aspiring to global ac-
ademic excellence and serving
the needs of North Carolina's
students and people. "We're the university of both - and:
Both academic prominence and a commitment to our state."
Before becoming chancellor on July 1, 2008, Thorp served
a year as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He chaired
the chemistry department, led a $17 million fundraising ef-
fort for the Carolina Physical Science Complex as faculty di-
rector, and spent four years as director of the Morehead Plan-
etarium and Science Center.
Nationally, Thorp serves on the Associations Patent Re-
form Task Force, an advisory body to six associations repre-
senting U.S. higher education in a Congressional effort to
reform patent law. He has published 130 scholarly articles on
the electronic properties of DNA and RNA. He invented
technology for electronic DNA chips that led to 19 issued or
pending U.S. patents.
Although Thorp has lived mostly in North Carolina, he
conducted a state tour during part of his first year as chancel-
lor to show his personal commitment to the University's mis-
sion of serving the state. Stops included visits with high
school students, university students, alumni and all UNC
system chancellors.
An accomplished musician who plays jazz bass and key-
board, Thorp is married to Patti Worden Thorp, a Hope Mills
native and UNC Greensboro graduate. Their children are
John and Emma.
Keep up with Chancellor Thorp's chronicles
of Carolina at his blog, holden.unc.edu, which
features photos, video and audio.
"It's on us to do more than teach, more than educate. We must
inspire our students to reach beyond themselves and take on the
great problems facing the world."
I'M A „
TAR | HEEL
IT'S A FEELING YOU GET when you are in Chapel Hill
- a feeling that this is indeed a special place. It's not just brilliant
students, or a Nobel Prize winner, or Hall of Fame coaches, or
championship teams, or some of the most recognizable athletes
in sports. This place is the sum of its parts - parts individually
committed to the highest level of excellence in all that they do.
It is the University of North Carolina.
I'm the first person in my family to go to college.
I don't take that for granted. I approach every day
with the goal of succeeding the Carolina Way, and I
thank the Carolina Family for making that possible.
I'm Marvin Austin,
and I'm a Tar Heel.
It is every person working toward a goal of making themselves
better - which in turn makes Carolina, as a team, stronger. It is
the personal commitment to wake up at 5:00 a.m. for practice. It
-is the lone shooter in the gym without the lights or the screaming
fans. It is practicing hard day in and day out for the betterment of
the team, knowing your jersey may never feel sweat on game day.
It is busing back from a road game late at night, only to arise for
that early morning mid-term exam ... and making Dean's List. It
is an understanding that this is the Carolina Way - and it is what
it means to be a Tar Heel.
The Rams Club supports this commitment to the highest level of excel-
lence. Pleasejoin ourefforts to make this experience possible forCaro-
linastudent-athletes. And give them the opportunity to say with pride:
I'M A TAR HEEL.
The Rams Club
The Rams Club - A Need for Growth
The cost of competing at the highest level and educating out-
standing student-athletes continues to climb. The Rams Club must
grow its membership and level of support to keep Carolina as one
of the nation's premier athletics programs both athletically and
academically.
The Rams Club has witnessed impressive growth over the past sev-
eral years - 51% of members have joined within the last 10 years.
Membership in The Rams Club is available through endowment
and annual gifts. Gifts of all sizes are important - 47% of all An-
nual Fund gifts are between $100 and $1,000. This growth must
continue to meet the escalating needs of Carolina's 28 varsity
sports and its student-athletes.
As a member of The Rams Club, you provide a vital component
to the success of Tar Heel student-athletes. Your membership
provides Carolina student-athletes the opportunity to proudly say,
"I'm a Tar Heel."

Annual Fund
Donations through the Annual Fund offers The Rams Club the oppor-
tunity to meet immediate funding needs-primarily the funds needed
to bridge the difference between the endowment's yield and the
actual scholarship costs and other important projects for Carolina's
student-athletes.
Scholarship Endowment
The Rams Club's Scholarship Endowment Trust is the largest athletic
scholarship endowment in the nation. The Scholarship Endowment
Trust is built upon gifts from Carolina supporters who have endowed
Full or Half Scholarships in support of student-athletes which provide
in perpetuity the support to a broad-based athletics program.
Carolina Forver - Planned Giving
As the Rams Club's planned giving program, Carolina Forever offers
donors an opportunity to make a lasting impact by involving Caro-
lina Athletics in their estate planning. Carolina Forever's mission is
to insure that the university continues to provide in perpetuity the
unique opportunity to experience what it means to be a Tar Heel
student-athlete in a broad-based athletics program.
Sports Endowments
The Sport Endowments program provides additional funding for the
operating budgets of each of the 28 sports. Donors can make gifts
to an individual sport with the yield from that trust made available
to the appropriate coach for use in budget-enhancing activities like
recruiting, team travel, assistant coaches' salaries and more. With
the gifts designated into an endowment, these gifts will provide a
continuous stream of usable income in perpetuity.

NORTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL • KENAN STADIUM - HOME OF THE TAR HEELS
Carolina football plays its home games at Kenan
Memorial Stadium (eap. 60,000), one of the most
picturesque athletic venues in America. Kenan
Stadium has been the home of the Tar Heels since
1927 and the thrill of playing in or attending a game
there is as exhilarating now as it was when it was
first constructed.
Considering its majestic setting among the
Carolina pines, many observers say Kenan Stadium
is the most beautiful football facility in the country.
One national sports magazine rated Kenan one of
the five best places in America to watch a college
football game. For scenery, atmosphere and charm, it
cannot be suipassed.
The stadium has been expanded several times
since its completion in 1927. In each instance,
though, great care was taken to keep its funda-
mental beauty intact. The addition of the Frank H.
Kenan Football Center and the North Side Stadium
Preferred Seating Box in 1997 have further enhanced
the stadium's status as a campus landmark.
The Kenan Football Center houses the Carolina
football program, including the locker rooms, weight
room, training room, equipment room, players'
lounge, computer labs and study areas, 100-plus
seat auditorium, coaches' offices, theater and Hall
of Honor.
An additional floor was added to the Kenan
Football Center after the 2008 season. The fifth
floor contains additional office and recruiting space
for the day-to-day operations of the football pro-
gram, four premium gameday suites, a larger video
and studio facility and a state-of-the-art press confer-
ence area. The recruiting area and suites also are
used as academic study areas during the week. The
second floor was completely renovated for increased
football meeting spaces, including bigger individual
position meeting rooms and a larger team meeting
room. The fourth floor renovations added additional
office space for football support staff.
The Charlie Justice Hall of Honor, located on the
ground floor, is a multi-media history of Carolina
football. Photographs, awards, trophies and artifacts
detailing the rich and storied history of the sport in
Chapel Hill are on display. The players who have
been honored by placing their names and numbers
on display in the stadium are also featured in the
Hall of Honor. Special plaques, flags and an audio-
visual presentation on each player are highlighted.
The James A. Heavner Theater was made possible
by a special gift by the former executive producer
of the Tar Heel Sports Network and president of
Vilcom. The theater is a 30-person mini-theater
equipped with surround sound and seven dramatic
videos presenting the history of UNC football.
A number of rooms in the Kenan Football Center
have been dedicated in the honor or memory of
Carolina's benefactors, fans and athletic personali-
ties. They include the Brinkley Lounge, the fourth
floor reception area named for Harvey M. Brinkley
Jr.; the Don McCauley/Paul Miller Head Coach's
Suite; the Norman M. (Buddy) Black Jr. Lounge, the
fourth floor hospitality area; the Oscar Davenport/
Chris Keldorf Quarterback Meeting Room, as given
by Bob Biggerstaff; the Jo Allison Clary Smith
Weight Room; the Carolina Football Players' Locker
Room, named in behalf of the more than 400 former
Tar Heels who donated more than $2 million to the
project; the Nassif Offensive Staff Meeting Room;
the Ann and Paul Lawing Coaches" Locker Room;
Koury Box North, box seating on the north side of
the stadium named for Maurice J. Koury; the John
W. Pope Academic Support Facility; the John W.
Pope Stadium Box, a stadium box on the north side;
the John D. Swofford Auditorium and the Jimmy W.
Garrell coaches meeting room.
The 1997 expansion project, in which great care
was taken to ensure that the surrounding environ-
ment would be altered as little as possible, ties the
north and south concourses to either end of the lower
deck via the third level of the Kenan Center, making
fan movement around the stadium much easier. That
project also added nearly 8,000 seats, a state-of-the-
art football facility, chancellor's box and preferred
seating box. The renovation and expansion project
was financed through a combination of private con-
tributions through the Educational Foundation and
bonded indebtedness from the athletic department
through the sale of revenue-generating bonds. The
Educational Foundation and its members committed
more than $50 million to the project.
Two ribbon videoboards on the facade of the
North and South side upper levels were added in
2007. In 2003, a $2 million scoreboard at the east
end of the stadium was added. The scoreboard
was financed through an agreement with Learfield
Communications, UNC's multi-media rights holder.
The $2-million-figure includes the cost of the video
board, installation and a new public address system.
Over 40 new speakers were added throughout Kenan
Stadium.
The football center is named
in honor of the late Frank H.
Kenan, one ol the school's
most generous benefactors.
Kenan was a Durham resident
and chief executive officer «it
Kenan Transport Company in
Chapel Hill. He passed away at
age 83 in 1996.
Kenan, a 1935 Carolina
graduate, was the great-great-
grandson ol General James
Kenan, a member of the
University's founding board
of trustees. An Atlanta native,
Kenan had a tremendous impact
on the growth of the University.
He served on many campus
boards, including the Board of
Visitors and the Educational
Foundation Board of Directors.
In recent years the William
R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust,
of which he was a trustee, has
donated more than $100 mil-
lion to schools in the state's consolidated university
system, including Carolina, NC State and the N.C.
School of the Arts. Among other things, the trust
funds 92 William R. Kenan Jr. Professorships at 56
colleges and universities nationwide.
Kenan served on the steering committee of
Carolina's Bicentennial Campaign, the University's
largest fund-raising effort. Gifts by him. his family
and the trust during the campaign exceeded S3 1 mil-
lion. The largest portion of that was targeted for the
business school. In 1991 the school was renamed the
Kenan-Flagler Business School after a S10 million
gift.
The preferred seating box that rises above the
second deck of the grandstand on the north side of
the stadium has outdoor seating for almost 1 ,200
spectators. That includes the Chancellor's Box on
the second level of the box 45 feet above the ground.
The fourth level, 68 feet high, has outdoor seating
for more than 1 ,000. plus concessions and a 7.500
square foot lounge. There is a smaller lounge and
food preparation areas on the third floor.
The Kenan Football Center and preferred seating
box are the predominant changes in a multi-year
renovation plan that began in 1995. A new playing
field was installed that spring. The new turf includes
an improved drainage system beneath the field that
drains through the field itself rather than off the sides
of the field as in the past. Prior to the 1996 season
the restrooms and concession stands were expanded
and renovated.
Another significant stadium expansion took place
prior to 1988 and involved adding 2.000 choice seats
between the 40-yard lines where the press box and
chancellor's box formerly stood. A new press box
was constructed on top of the upper deck on the sta-
dium's south side. It is a one-level elongated struc-
ture, running from 10-yard line to 10-yard line.

Also part of the 1987-88 project were a perma-
nent lighting system, a chancellor's lounge on the
north side of the field and a football lettermen's
lounge on the south side. The lights are part of a
General Electric low-mount system which minimizes
the height of the lightpoles. Cost of the entire project
was $7 million. It was funded by private gifts and
bonds.
William Rand Kenan Jr. deserves the credit
for originally making the stadium a part of the
University. He was born in North Carolina in 1873
and graduated from Carolina in 1894. An interna-
tional industrialist. Kenan discovered carbide and
made monumental progress in the field of chemis-
try. During his business career he was president of
The Florida East Coast Railroad, The Florida East
Coast Hotel Company. The West Palm Beach Water
Company and the Florida East Coast Car Ferry
Company.
He was a director of Florida Power and Light
Company and built the first power plant in Miami in
the early 1900s.
The stadium was built as a memorial to his par-
ents, William R. Kenan and Mary Hargrave Kenan.
Construction began in November 1926 and was
completed the following August. Complete cost
of the stadium and accompanying fieldhouse was
$303,000.
Originally, the stadium was to be built through
funds raised by alumni donations, and by June
1926, a group of nearly 40 alumni had contributed
$27,926. At this time, however, a copy of the pro-
spectus and plan of financing the stadium came into
the hands of Kenan, who expressed an interest in
the proposal. Kenan was considering establishing
a memorial to his parents, and the pressing need
for a stadium and the possibilities of the beauty,
dignity and permanence it presented, suggested to
him that the benefaction he contemplated may well
take the form of a memorial stadium. The Stadium
Committee immediately endorsed his proposal and
on the very day in November 1926 on which Kenan
visited the planned site, he announced his financial
gift to build the stadium.
Kenan remained very interested in Kenan Stadium
throughout his lifetime. In the 1950s he gave a
SI ,000.000 contribution to construct a second deck
on the stadium. After Kenan's death in 1965 the
William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust, which was
established by his will, donated $1,000,000 lo
enlarge and modernize Kenan Fieldhouse.
In 1988 the Kenan Trust made another $1 ,000,000
gift to complete the new chancellor's box on the
North Side. Another lasting memory of William
R. Kenan Jr. is the Kenan Athletic Scholarship
Endowment, valued at over SI .000,000. Each year
a student-athlete is awarded a full scholarship from
this fund.
Besides giving the stadium to the University,
Mr. Kenan also sponsored and financed the famous
Kenan Professorships. He was awarded the honorary
degree of LL.D. by his alma mater in 1944.
In the first game played there. Carolina defeated
Davidson, 27-0. on November 12, 1927.
Carolina's all-time record at Kenan Stadium is
249-162-16. The most points scored by the Tar
Heels in Kenan came in the third game played there
as Carolina whipped Wake Forest, 65-0, in the 1928
season opener.
As originally built, the stadium seated 24.000.
However, in 1963 the benefactor added portable
stands and then an upper deck to the permanent
stands, which increased capacity to 48,000. That was
expanded to 50,000 in 1979, 52,000 in 1988, 57,500
in 1997 and 60,000 in 1998.
At the East end of the stadium is the Kenan
Fieldhouse. home of the Student-Athlete
Development Center. A 20.000 square foot building.
it is a one-of-a-kind facility. For study purposes, it
contains a language lab, video room, computer lab,
theatre-style lecture hall, several reading rooms and
numerous tutorial rooms. UNC's academic counsel-
ing staff has the advantage of using the most modern
techniques in assisting student-athletes.
Capacity crowds have come to be expected at
Kenan. In 1997, the Tar Heels played in front of a
record-shattering crowd of 62.000 on Nov. 8, 1997,
as fifth-ranked Carolina battled No. 2 Florida State.
The largest crowd to watch a game prior to the most
recent major expansion was 54,300 as Carolina
defeated N.C. State, 31-17, in 1994.
The 1983 season saw another first in the sta-
dium — a game played under artificial lights. The
Carolina-Duke game was played in the late afternoon
so it could be televised throughout the ACC area.
Portable lights were brought in since the second half
was played after sunset. Portable lights were also
used in the 1987 Clemson game which was televised
nationally by ESPN.
The 1991 season opener versus Cincinnati and
that season's Clemson game, which was televised
nationally by ESPN, were the first true night games
ever played at Kenan Stadium.

4$ NORTH CAROLINA REVIEW • 2008 REVIEW NOTES
CAROLINA FINISHES 8-5 IN 2008
North Carolina was 8-5 in 2008, a four-game im-
provement from 2007 and advanced to a postseason
bowl game for the first time since 2004. The Tar Heels
were in contention for the ACC title until the final week
of the season and spent nearly half the season ranked
among the top 25. Carolina posted wins over three
ranked teams - Connecticut, Notre Dame and Georgia
Tech - and notched impressive victories at Miami and
vs. Notre Dame in Kenan Stadium. The Tar Heels fell
to West Virginia, 31 -30, in the Meineke Car Care
Bowl in Charlotte on Dec. 27 to close the season.
HAKEEM NICKS FINISHES INCREDIBLE CAROLINA
CAREER
Charlotte, NC, native Hakeem Nicks finished his
career as arguably the top receiver in Carolina history.
The 6-2, 210-pound junior set 14 school records in
just three seasons in Chapel Hill. He ranked first in
the ACC in receiving yards (94.0/game), second in
receptions (5.23/game) and sixth in all-purpose yards
(106.9). In 2008, he had 68 receptions for 1 ,222
yards and 1 2 touchdowns. He also had five rushes for
34 yards and one touchdown. Nicks became the first
player in school history to top the 1 , 000-yard receiv-
ing mark and also set the single-season record with 1 2
touchdown receptions.

sonville, N.C. led the nation with seven interceptions.
He twice sealed a Carolina victory on the last play of
the game with a turnover. He picked off a pass in the
end zone at Miami and recovered a fumble vs. Notre
Dame to ensure a Carolina victory.
• Linebacker Bruce Carter led the nation with five
blocked kicks, including three in one game vs. Con-
necticut. Carter is believed to be the only player in
NCAA history to block four consecutive punts (last one
vs. Miami and three vs. UConn.)
• Linebacker Quan Sturdivant led the nation with 87
primary tackles. The 6-2, 235-pound sophomore
ranked third in the ACC and 20th in country with 9.4
tackles per game.
• Senior Mark Paschal was voted the team defensive
MVP and ranked fourth in the ACC and 21 st in the
country in tackles per game (9.4).
• Brandon Tate became the NCAA all-time leader in
combined kick return yards with 3,523. He set the
school record with his sixth kick return for a touch-
down. Against McNeese State, he set the school
record with 397 all-purpose yards.
• A year following brain surgery, freshman defensive
end Robert Quinn was named the 2008 ACC Piccolo
Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks set 1 4 school records in just
three seasons in Chapel Hill.
Award winner as the league's most courageous player.
The Ladson, S.C., native started 1 2 games and had 26
tackles and 6.5 tackles for losses.
CAROLINA COMEBACKS
Coming from behind to win was nothing new for the
2008 Tar Heels. Carolina trailed in seven of its eight
wins, including three (Miami, Notre Dame, Boston
College) by deficits of at least 1 0 points. The only time
Carolina did not trail was in a 28-7 win over No. 22
Georgia Tech.
THREE WINS OVER RANKED TEAMS
North Carolina won three games over ranked teams
in 2008, including No. 22 Georgia Tech, No. 24
Connecticut and No. 23 Boston College. All three
wins came at home, marking the first season in school
history that Carolina has earned three victories over
ranked teams. Carolina also posted three victories
against ranked teams in 1 992, but only two came at
home. North Carolina's average margin of victory
against ranked teams this season was 22.6 points
(UConn by 26, BC by 21 , Georgia Tech by 21 ).
TAR HEELS EIGHTH IN THE NATION IN
INTERCEPTIONS
Carolina finished eighth in the nation with 20 intercep-
tions. The Tar Heels intercepted at least one pass in
1 0 of 13 games and had multiple interceptions in six
games, including a season-high four at Rutgers. The
only games Carolina did not pick off a pass were in
losses to Virginia, Maryland and NC State. Eight
different players had at least one interception in
2008, including Trimane Goddard, linebacker Mark
Paschal, cornerback Kendric Burney, safety Deunta
Williams, cornerback Charles Brown, linebacker Quan
Sturdivant, linebacker Bruce Carter and defensive
tackle Marvin Austin. Carolina established a single-
season school record with four interception returns for
touchdowns (Carter at Rutgers, Austin vs. Connecticut,
Sturdivant vs. Notre Dame and Goddard vs. Boston
College). The previous record of three was set in
1 994. UNC also set a school record with 467 inter-
ception return yards. Carolina's 20 interceptions were
the most since it had 20 in 1 996.

Carolina 35, McNeese State 27
August 30, 2008
Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) Brandon
Tate put on a dazzling one man
show, scoring on an 82-yard punt
return and putting North Carolina
ahead for good with a 57-yard catch to help the Tar
Heels hold off McNeese State 35 27 on Saturday
Tate finished with a school-record 397 all-purpose
yards for the Tar Heels, who showed little else in their
second season under Butch Davis. In a game suspended
nearly two hours due to weather, they blew a 1 4-0
first-half lead and had to rally from a third-quarter deficit
against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent.
For all the preseason optimism that has abounded
here, North Carolina had to rely almost solely on Tate's
ability to weave through oncoming defenders or break
free from the clutches of would-be tacklers on this night.
The senior started with a 56-yard return on the
opening kickoff and had a 54-yard run that helped set
up the Tar Heels' second touchdown. He also had a
38-yard punt return in the first quarter, finishing with 106
yards rushing and 93 yards receiving to break the school
record of 339 all-purpose yards set by Derrick Fenner in
1986. The 397 yards were second-most in Atlantic Coast
Conference history.
Brooks Foster also had a touchdown catch for
North Carolina, which compiled most of its 384 yards in
the final 20 minutes. Shaun Draughn and Greg Little ran
for fourth-quarter touchdowns that helped the Tar Heels
stay in front.
Derrick Fourroux and Mark Fontenot ran for scores
to lead the Cowboys, who scored 20 unanswered points
after the game resumed. But after Fourroux's 2-yard
score for the 20-14 third-quarter lead, the Tar Heels
answered by going to - who else? - Tate.
Facing a third-and-6 near midfield, T.J. Yates
heaved the ball deep to Tate, who caught it in stride and
raced into the end zone for a 21 -20 lead with 4:35 left
in the third quarter.
Tate later broke the school record in fitting fashion,
taking a handoff to the right side, then breaking free
from Joshua Ellison - who had a hold of Tate's collar -
and reversing field for a 20-yard gain early in the fourth.
Ultimately, the only thing that slowed Tate was the
weather. Officials suspended the game due to lightning
with North Carolina leading 14-0 on Foster's short TD
catch with 1 2:03 left in the first half. Both teams headed
to the locker room before heavy rain arrived in a delay
that lasted 1 hour, 48 minutes.

Greg Schiano.
Yates found a wide open Hakeem Nicks on
touchdown passes of 9 and 1 1 yards and connected on
a 69-yard scoring play with speedster Brandon Tate, who
also scored on a 1 2-yard end around.
The Tar Heels intercepted four passes, including
three by starter Mike Teel. Linebacker Bruce Carter re-
turned a bobbled pass 66 yards for a touchdown as the
Tar Heels (2-0) handed Rutgers (0-2) its worst loss since
a 56-5 loss to Louisville on Nov. 1 1 , 2005 Freshman Jay
Woolen added field goals of 43, 29 and 27 yards
The victory was the Tar Heels' biggest since a 52-
1 7 win over Duke in 200 1 .
The start is the best since 2000 for North Carolina,
which is looking for its first winning season since 2001
The Tar Heels were 4-8 a year ago in Davis' first season
In many ways, the Scarlet Knights looked like the
Rutgers of old. They blew pass coverages on all three
of Yates' TD passes, had a bad punt lead to a North
Carolina score and saw their senior quarterback turn the
ball over three times.
By the time the third quarter was over, North
Carolina had a 38-6 lead and only a couple of thousand
fans from the sellout crowd of 42,502 were on hand
for a derisive cheer when Teel threw a fourth-quarter
touchdown pass to Kevin Brock.
Davis, who hired Schiano as his defensive coor-
dinator at Miami, saw his team improve markedly after
struggling in the season opener against McNeese State.
Yates finished 14-of-22 for 221 yards and matched
his career high with the three TD passes. Tate caught
four passes for a career-best 1 38 yards. His 69-yard
touchdown catch was the longest of his career. Nicks
added six catches for 63 yards with the two TDs, tying
his single-game high.
North Carolina took control of the game with 38
points in the second and third quarters. The Tar Heels
scored on three straight possessions in the second to take
a 1 7-6 halftime lead.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -Dustin Keys
kicked the go ahead 45-yard field
goal to cap Virginia Tech's comeback
from a two-touchdown deficit and beat North Carolina
20 1 7 in a matchup of Atlantic Coast Conference dm
sion favorites.
Kenny Lewis Jr. and Darren Evans each ran for
second half touchdowns for the Hokies (3-1 , 2-0 ACC),
who struggled much of the game and trailed 1 7-3
midway through the third quarter before finding a way to
win their fifth straight in the series
Virginia Tech managed just 268 total yards and
converted only three of 1 6 third downs, but hung around
and took advantage of their opportunities to get back in
the game.
Brandon Tate and Greg Little each scored touch-
downs for the Tar Heels (2-1 , 0-1 ), who had pointed to
this game as their shot to prove they had arrived as a
rising league power in Butch Davis' second season
Instead, North Carolina's players and fans got a
painful reminder that the rebuilding project will not be an
overnight success
Despite stuffing the Hokies at nearly every turn
while their offense slowly but steadily moved the ball, the
Tar Heels saw it all unravel quickly They had 14 penal-
ties for 121 yards - including a pair on third down to
extend the Hokies' first TD drive - while committing four
turnovers, miscues made worse when they lost quarter-
back T.J. Yates to a broken left ankle in the third quarter
Little's 50-yard run up the middle gave North
Carolina the 1 7 3 lead with 6:44 to play in the third,
but the Hokies answered with a 1 3-play, 89-yard drive
that ended with Evans' 1 0-yard run to make it 17-10.
Then, after Little fumbled at North Carolina's 36-yard
line, Virginia Tech capitalized again and tied it on Lewis'
1 1 -yard run with 1 3:45 to go.
Finally, the Tar Heels committed a late-hit penalty on
a punt return that set up Keys' go-ahead kick
Yates, who was hurt while being sacked by Orion
Martin, left the stadium briefly for X-rays before returning
and watching the final minutes from a training table That
forced the Tar Heels to turn to redshirt freshman Mike
Paulus, who threw an interception to end North Caro-
lina's last best drive and threw another one on fourth
down deep in his own end to seal the game.
Paulus finished 3-for-8 for 23 yards, while Tyrod
Taylor shook off two interceptions to lead the Hokies'
comeback before leaving the game with after injuring his
ankle in the final period.

Dolphin Stadium •
Miami Gardens, Fla.
MIAMI (AP) -Cameron Sexton
threw a 14-yard touchdown pass
to Brooks Foster with 46 seconds left, Trimane Goddard
had two interceptions in the final minutes, and North
Carolina rallied from an early 1 4-point deficit to beat
Miami 28-24.
Sexton - playing because North Carolina starter
T.J. Yates will miss six weeks with a broken left ankle -
relieved starter Mike Paulus early and completed 1 1 of
19 passes for 242 yards, including two fourth -quarter
scores.
He found Hakeem Nicks with a 74-yard pass with
9 minutes remaining, then coolly found Foster in the right
corner of the end zone in the final minute to give North
Carolina (3-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) its first
lead of the day.
Miami had one more chance, getting the ball at
its own 31 . Robert Marve found Kayne Farquharson for
a 29-yard gain that took the Hurricanes to the North
Carolina 20 with 1 5 seconds remaining
Marve nearly hooked up with Farquharson again
on the final play of the game, but Goddard's second pick
of the quarter sealed the Tar Heels' win. Farquharson
had his hands on the ball in the end zone, yet Goddard
was the one who wound up with possession
Marve threw three touchdown passes for Miami
(2-2, 0- 1 ), and Graig Cooper rushed for 1 1 0 yards plus
had a receiving TD for the Hurricanes, who lost to the Tar
Heels for the second straight season.
Down 24-1 4 midway through the fourth quarter af-
ter Marve connected with Aldarius Johnson on a 4-yard
touchdown pass, the Tar Heels went to work. Nicks
caught the ball ahead of a diving Bruce Johnson for
the first North Carolina touchdown of the final quarter,
seeming to stun the Hurricanes a bit, and then Sexton
delivered the perfect touch pass at the end.
It was a stirring turnaround, especially considering
how the game started.
The Hurricanes needed only eight plays to go
89 yards - with Cooper rushing three times for 60 of
them - on the opening drive, capped by Marve finding
Farquharson with a 9-yard touchdown pass.
A special-teams blunder by the Tar Heels later in
the opening quarter gave Miami a two-touchdown edge.
Miami made it look easy in the first 1 5 minutes, out-
gaining North Carolina 127-24, limiting the Tar Heels to
minus-4 yards rushing and less than two yards per play.
Suddenly, everything that went right in the first
quarter suddenly stopped for Miami.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -Shaun
Draughn rushed for a career-high
1 09 yards and a touchdown,
defensive lineman Marvin Austin
returned an interception 23 yards for another score and
North Carolina routed No 24 Connecticut 38-12.
Bruce Carter blocked three punts, Matt Merletti fell
on one of them for a touchdown and Draughn's 39-yard
touchdown run started the game-breaking sequence that
gave the Tar Heels their first win over a ranked team in
three years.
Ryan Houston had a 1 -yard score and Cameron
Sexton threw a 1 3-yard touchdown pass to Hakeem
Nicks for North Carolina (4- 1 ), which overcame some
shortcomings on the stat sheet by scoring 21 points off
Husky mistakes. UConn outgained the Tar Heels 378-263
and had a 10-minute advantage in time of possession,
but couldn't overcome three interceptions by new starter
Zach Frazer.
Donald Brown, the nation's leading rusher, ran for
161 yards--20 below his average—with a touchdown
for the Huskies (5-1 ) But 93 of those yards came in the
fourth quarter, well after this one was decided.
Draughn, a former safety, took a handoff from
Sexton midway through the third quarter and raced
untouched up the middle to make it 24-6.
Frazer's third interception came about 2 minutes
later, and sealed it. Frazer was being spun by defensive
end E.J. Wilson and tried to throw the ball away when
Austin plucked it out of the air and jogged into the end
zone.
Frazer completed 24 of 42 passes for 210 yards in
place of injured starter Tyler Lorenzen, who's out with a
broken right foot.
Making his first start since 2006, Sexton was 9-of-
1 6 for 117 yards with an interception, but led the Tar
Heels to their first nonconference victory over a Top 25
team since beating then-No 17 Stanford in 1997. They
had lost nine straight against ranked teams since upset-
ting then-No. 1 9 Boston College in 2005.
Yet this was no upset: North Carolina entered as a
seven-point favorite.
Still, UConn outgained the Tar Heels 169-107 in the
first half, had the ball for nearly twice as long--and still
trailed 1 7-3 because of mistakes by Frazer and the punt
team.
The game was delayed for 22 minutes early in the
third quarter when two banks of lights temporarily went
dark.

^H ^B Sexton scored on a leaping 4-yard
keeper to start the fourth quarter
and Quan Sturdivant had a momentum-changing 32-
yard interception return to help the No. 22 Tar Heels
beat the Fighting Irish 29-24, providing another boost to
coach Butch Davis' rebuilding effort.
The Tar Heels (5-1 ), off to their best start since go-
ing 8-0 in 1 997, beat the Fighting Irish (4-2) for the first
time since 1 960.
Hakeem Nicks had nine catches for 141 yards and
freshman walk-on Casey Barth kicked three field goals,
helping North Carolina rally from an 1 1 -point first-half
deficit.
The Tar Heels' offense failed to reach the end zone
in the first half while their defense struggled to slow
Jimmy Clausen and the Notre Dame passing game. But
their knack for forcing turnovers - four after halftime -
was enough to help them hang on in a game that came
down to a wild finish.
It was Notre Dame's first game in the state of North
Carolina since unheralded sophomore Joe Montana led
a comeback win here in 1 975.
The teams certainly provided a memorable finish,
with Notre Dame reaching the North Carolina 7 in
the final seconds before officials ruled - after a review
- that receiver Michael Floyd fumbled the ball in what
appeared to be a frantic attempted lateral. Trimane God-
dard recovered, giving the ball back to North Carolina
for a joyous kneel-down with 3 seconds left.
Clausen threw for a career-best 383 yards - his
third straight career game - and touchdowns to Golden
Tate and Floyd that helped the Irish take a 1 7-9 halftime
lead.
Notre Dame finished with 472 yards, but couldn't
overcome two interceptions and two lost fumbles in the
second half.
The Tar Heels went most of the way without big-play re-
ceiver and returner Brandon Tate, who sprained his right
knee in the first quarter. Nicks picked up the slack with
another big day against the Irish after tallying six catches
for 1 71 yards and a score against them two years ago
in South Bend. Converted safety Shaun Draughn added
his second straight solid game, finishing with 91 yards
rushing on 1 7 carries.
Sexton threw for 201 yards, but he made his big-
gest play with his feet, scrambling right on third down
and jumping through a hit from Kyle McCarthy at the
goal line for the 29-24 lead with 1 4:55 to play.

Scott Stadium • Charlottesville, Va.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -Cedric
Peerman scored from two yards in
overtime to give Virginia a 16-13 win over No. 1 8 North
Carolina
Virginia (4-3, 2- 1 , ACC) trailed 1 0-3 with 2: 1 8
to play, but Peerman scored on a two-yard run with 47
seconds left in regulation and Robert Randolph's conver-
sion was barely good to send the game into overtime.
Casey Barth kicked a 28-yard field goal to begin
OT, and North Carolina (5-2, 1-2) led 13-10.
Tight end John Phillips caught a 1 9-yard pass
from Marc Verica to put the ball on the Tar Heels' four.
Peerman ran for two yards and then two more for the
winning score.
North Carolina, which won its previous three
games and was off to its best start since winning eight
straight games to start 1 997, was without key playmaker
Brandon Tate, who suffered torn ligaments in his right
knee in last week's win over Notre Dame. He was lost for
the season.
Sophomore Shaun Draughn had 1 3 carries for 80
yards in the first quarter. He had 1 40 yards--the third
straight game he's rushed for more than 100.
Virginia, held to just 1 8 yards in the first quarter
and 59 in the first half, got a fortunate break early in
the third quarter. Sexton's short pass rolled right into the
arms of nose tackle Nick Jenkins for an interception.
The Cavaliers took over on the Tar Heel 34, but had
to settle for a 37-yard field goal by Randolph.
On the Tar Heels' next possession, Nicks caught a
pass near midfield and fumbled. After Chase Minnifield
recovered the ball on Virginia's 45, the Cavaliers were
able to drive to the North Carolina 23.
Randolph attempted a 39-yard field goal, but it was
blocked.
Virginia drove to the North Carolina 39, but its
drive stalled, and was forced to punt. The Tar Heels took
over on their own five-yard line with 9:51 to play and
made three third-down plays--two receptions by Nicks
and a 10-yard run by Draughn to keep the ball away
from the Cavaliers. Nicks, who leads the ACC in receiv-
ing added a 23-yarder after North Carolina called its
final timeout with the ball on the Virginia 42.
Barth 's 40-yard field goal with 2:22 remaining
gave the Tar Heels their 1 0-3 lead. The Tar Heels' 1 5-
play drive lasted 7:29.
Getting the ball back with 2: 1 8 to play, the Cava-
liers drove 82 yards in 1 :35, Peerman scored on a two-
yard run, and Randolph lined up for the extra point. His
attempt was tipped and barely made it over the crossbar
for a 10-10 tie with 47 seconds to play.

Nicks had three second quarter
touchdown catches and ran for a
score in the fourth quarter to help North Carolina beat
No. 23 Boston College 45 24
Trimane Goddard added an interception return for
a touchdown for the Tar Heels (6 2, 2-2 ACC), who fell
behind 10-0 in the first quarter before roaring back with
a dominating performance that made them bowl-eligible
for the first time in four years. The Tar Heels also got a
short touchdown run from Ryan Houston after a long
interception return by Kendric Burney, who had two of
the team's three picks of BC quarterback Chris Crane.
Nicks finished with eight catches for 1 39 yards
- with 1 27 yards coming in a 24-point second quarter -
and three rushes for 31 yards, proving to be a matchup
the Eagles (5-2, 2-2) had no answer for all day He had
TD catches of 26, 40 and 43 yards to go with his 1 2-
yard rushing score.
Cameron Sexton threw for 238 yards, while Shaun
Draughn had 64 yards rushing in a 352-yard day for
the offense. That was more than enough against Boston
College, which finished with 244 total yards behind a
shaky performance from Crane.
Crane threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns,
while the Eagles got just 40 yards rushing.
Boston College's defense got the Eagles off to a fast
start, with Ron Brace sacking Sexton on North Carolina's
third play and forcing a fumble that Kevin Akins scooped
up and returned 1 3 yards for a 1 0-0 lead with 6: 1 8 left
in the opening period.
There were few highlights for BC from there. Crane
threw a short TD pass just before halftime, but didn't
direct another scoring drive until the final minutes By
then, North Carolina had put the game far out of reach.
Sexton connected with Nicks 31 seconds after
Crane's TD toss to make it 24- 1 7 at the break. Then
Burney picked off Crane on the Eagles' first possession of
the second half and returned it to BC's 1 -yard line to set
up Houston's score on the next play.
Goddard essentially closed the door, lumping in
front of Crane's pass for Brandon Robinson near midfield
and going 51 yards for the score and a 38-17 lead on
the first play of the fourth quarter.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) North
Carolina's defense hung in against
Georgia Tech's triple option attack
long enough for the offense to finally get moving. Ryan
Houston ran for a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns to
help North Carolina beat the 22nd-ranked Yellow Jackets
28-7, ensuring their first winning season in seven years.
Cameron Sexton added two touchdown passes for
the Tar Heels (7-2, 3-2 ACC), while Hakeem Nicks had
a touchdown catch and set the school record for career
receiving yardage in the final period.
North Carolina also used a strong 1 -2 rushing at-
tack with Houston and Shaun Draughn, and converted a
pair of fumbles into touchdowns to break the game open
late
It was clear the Tar Heels were prepared, Georgia
Tech couldn't sustain a scoring drive nor push deeper
than the Tar Heels' 23-yard line until Jonathan Dwyer's
85-yard touchdown run - the longest rush allowed by
North Carolina - with 6 minutes left By then, however,
the Tar Heels already had a 21 -0 lead
Dwyer, the league's No. 2 rusher, ran for 1 57 yards
for the Yellow Jackets (7-3, 4-3), who finished with 326
yards rushing and 423 total yards
But they did themselves in with several miscues
that kept them scoreless until the game was out of reach
- none bigger than the back to back turnovers in the
third and fourth quarters. There were also two missed
field goals and two failed fourth-and-short conversion
attempts in the first half.
North Carolina's offense didn't give its defense
much help, getting Sexton's touchdown pass to Zack
Pianalto on the opening drive but little else for the next
two-plus quarters. That is, until Georgia Tech's Roddy
Jones muffed a punt that was recovered by Matt Merletti
at the Yellow Jackets 30 late in the third quarter.
North Carolina converted quickly, getting an 8-yard
run from Draughn to help set up Houston's 2-yard score
that made it 1 4-0 with 1 3:57 to play
Then, Robert Quinn stripped Jaybo Shaw on a
keeper and Paschal recovered the fumble on the ensuing
possession. Houston converted again, running four
straight times before bouncing off a hit from Morgan
Burnett at the goalline for a 3-yard score that pushed the
lead to 21 points with 10:49 left.
Draughn finished with 90 yards rushing and Hous-
ton had a career-high 74 to offset a shaky passing day
from Sexton, who went just 7-for-16 for 100 yards.
But Sexton found Nicks for an easy 31 -yard score
on fourth down with 4: 1 1 left to seal it, and Nicks set the
receiving record with a 22-yard catch a little later from
T.J. Yates, making his first appearance in relief from a
broken ankle suffered in September.

NORTH CAROLINA REVIEW • 2008 RECAPS
Maryland 1 7, Carolina 1 5
November 1 5, 2008
Byrd Stadium • College Park, Md.
COLLEGE PARK, MD. (AP) -Playing
on a wet field, facing a tough North
Carolina defense and starting 82
yards from the end zone, Maryland
desperately needed a score to keep alive its run of suc-
cess against ranked teams.
Chris Turner made it happen, engineering a
dramatic 1 9-play drive that provided the Terrapins with a
17-15 victory over the No. 1 7 Tar Heels.
Obi Egekeze kicked a 26-yard field goal with 1 :42
left to cap a 73-yard march that lasted nearly 9 minutes
and produced the only points of the second half.
An 1 8-yard completion from Turner to Ronnie Tyler
on a third-and-1 1 from the Maryland 44 helped, but the
key was an impromptu 9-yard run by Turner on a fourth-
and-5 at the Carolina 32.
Da'Rel Scott ran for 1 29 yards and a touchdown
and Davin Meggett had 86 rushing yards for Maryland
(7-3, 4-2). The Tar Heels (7-3, 3-3) dropped out of first
place in the Coastal Division and remained winless at
Maryland since 1997.
North Carolina converted only one of 1 1 third
downs and finished with only 75 yards rushing. It was
their third loss by three points or fewer.
After Egekeze's late field goal, Cameron Sexton's
bid to bring the Tar Heels back ended with an intercep-
tion by Jamari McCollough in the final minute.
Sexton went 10-for-24 for 1 66 yards and took the
blame for an offense that produced only 1 1 first downs.
North Carolina missed a chance to increase its one-
point lead late in the third quarter when Casey Barth's
28-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright. A 44-yard
pass from running back Shaun Draughn to Brooks Foster
preceded the errant kick.
The Tar Heels got the ball back when a fumble by
second-string quarterback Josh Portis was recovered by
Quinton Copies at the Maryland 33, but three straight
incomplete passes led to a punt.
A back-and-forth first half, played at times in heavy
rain, ended with North Carolina up 1514.
The game's first points came on a Maryland
mistake: a snap over the head of punter Travis Baltz, who
dived on the ball in the end zone for a 42-yard loss and
a safety.
After Barth added a field goal, Scott capped a
76-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run to put the
Terrapins up 7-5.
Two plays later, Sexton lofted a pass on the run that
cleared leaping defensive back Kenny Tate and landed in
the arms of Cooter Arnold, who completed the 59-yard
play for his first career touchdown.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -Russell
Wilson threw for two touchdowns and
had a key run in the third quarter to
set up another score, and NC State beat the 25th-ranked
Tar Heels 41 -10.
Tailback Jamelle Eugene ran for two touchdowns
and Andre Brown ran for another for N.C. State (5-6,
3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).
NC State scored 21 points in the third quarter to
blow it open, earning its biggest win in the series since a
40-6 victory in 1 989. N.C. State finished with a season-
high 466 total yards while holding North Carolina to a
season-low 203, handing the Tar Heels (7-4, 3-4) their
most lopsided loss under second-year coach Butch Davis.
Wilson finished with a career-high 279 yards pass-
ing to go with 50 yards rushing. The redshirt freshman
also extended his interception-free streak to a school-
record 203 passes, part of a turnover-free day against a
defense that has been one of the nation's best at forcing
mistakes.
Instead, it was North Carolina giving it away.
North Carolina committed six turnovers - two
on fumbles by starting tailback Shaun Draughn in the
opening 5 minutes - and got no spark from the return of
quarterback T.J. Yates to the starting lineup.
North Carolina's previous three losses were by a
combined eight points.
Yates started all 1 2 games last year and the first
three this season before breaking his left ankle against
Virginia Tech in September. One-time third-stringer
Cameron Sexton had won four of six starts since, but
Davis opened competition this week after Sexton's shaky
performance in last weekend's loss at Maryland.
Yates completed 1 0 of 22 passes for 1 1 6 yards and
an interception before Davis opted for Sexton midway
through the fourth quarter. By then, the Tar Heels trailed
34-10 - though it might not have mattered who started at
quarterback.
The Wolfpack managed to convert only one of
Draughn's early fumbles into a field goal and led 10-3 at
halftime on Wilson's 1 7-yard TD pass to George Bryan.
Then, leading 17-10, N.C. State put the game out of
reach.
With his mobility buying time against North Caro-
lina's pass rush, Wilson completed passes to convert on
third and fourth down before running 26 yards to set up
Brown's 2-yard scoring run that made it 24-10.
Then, a play after Richard Quinn fumbled away the
ensuing kickoff, Wilson connected with Owen Spencer
for a 21 -yard touchdown over the middle to push the
lead to 31 -10 with 1:14 left in the third quarter.

Durham, N.C.
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -A near-perfect
T.J. Yates threw three touchdown
passes, and Trimane Goddard
intercepted a pass in the closing seconds to seal North
Carolina's 28-20 victory over Duke.
Shaun Draughn rushed for 1 10 yards and a touch-
down and caught another score from Yates to help North
Carolina (8-4, 4-4 ACC) snap a two-game losing streak
and beat the Blue Devils (4-8, 1 -7) for the 1 8th time in
1 9 years.
Thaddeus Lewis led Duke into the red zone in the
final minute before his fourth-down pass went straight to
Goddard at the 4.
Yates completed 1 5 of his first 1 6 passes and
finished 1 5-of- 1 9 for 1 90 yards with scoring passes cov-
ering 1 1 yards to Draughn, 25 yards to Hakeem Nicks
and 32 yards to Richard Quinn. He won as a starter for
the first time since Sept. 1 1 at Rutgers after after missing
five games with a broken left ankle suffered a week later
against Virginia Tech.
Lewis finished 34-of-49 for 278 yards with an
8-yard touchdown pass to Eron Riley. Vincent Rey
returned a fumble 36 yards for a score for Duke, which
ended David Cutcliffe's first season with five straight
losses after starting 4-3.
The Blue Devils have lost five straight in the rivalry
for the Victory Bell, the rolling trophy that is annually
spray-painted with the winning team's shade of blue.
One possession after Duke made it a one-point
game, Yates helped the Tar Heels retain ownership of the
trophy when he faked a handoff, rolled right and hit a
wide-open Quinn in stride. The tight end rumbled - and
then spun - into the end zone with 1:16 left in the third.
North Carolina - which was favored by a touch-
down - didn't take its first lead until late in the second
quarter, when Yates put the Tar Heels up 21 -14 with a
deep ball to Nicks.
The receiver pulled in the ball behind Glenn
Williams near the back of the end zone for his school
record-tying ninth TD catch. Nicks finished with three
catches for 38 yards and became the school's first player
with 1 ,000 yards receiving in a season.
Duke closed to 2 1 - 1 7 at halftime on Joe Surgan's
career-long 55-yard field goal on the final play, then
made it 21-20 on Nick Maggio's 27-yard kick on the first
series of the second half.

Bank of America Stadium •
Charlotte, N.C.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) 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 31 -30 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 quar-
terback 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 go-ahead touchdown with
7: 1 4 left.
Yates couldn't find the dynamic Nicks on the Tar
Heels' final drive, eventually throwing his first intercep-
tion of the game.
Nicks already set three school receiving records and
shattered his career-high 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 touch
downs 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 23-21 lead
The action thrilled a sellout crowd at Bank of America
Stadium that included thousands of fans from both
schools.

GEORGE BARCLAY, GUARD, 1934
Barclay was Carolina's first football All-America.
The 5-11, 1 85-pound guard and linebacker was
a three-year standout for Chuck Collins and Carl
Snavely. A fine blocker and an extraordinary tackier.
Barclay lined up in the offensive interior next to
tackle Jim Tatum. He was captain of the 1934 team
which went 7-1-1 . Barclay later served as head coach
at Carolina for three seasons, from 1953 to 1955.
ANDY BERSHAK, END, 1937
A 185-pound end, Bershak was a two-way performer
for the Tar Heels. He was a fine receiver, but was
even better on defense. He played two years for Carl
Snavely and one for Ray Wolf. Bershak, an honor
student, was also a basketball starter. He was selected
to the Order of the Golden Fleece and served as presi-
dent of the Carolina Athletic Association.
STEVE MARONIC, TACKLE, 1938
Maronic was a two-way tackle for the Tar Heels
and team co-captain in 1938. He was an "iron man,"
playing almost 60 minutes in every game that season.
He turned in two of his best performances in front
of the New York media against NYU at Yankee
Stadium and Fordham at the Polo Grounds. Those
games solidified his All-America chances. Maronic
also was a place-kicker and hit 13 straight PATs in
his final season.
PAUL SEVERIN, END, 1939-40
Severin was a two-time All-America selection by the
Associated Press (1939 and 1940) and made most
of the all-star teams in his senior season. His career
was filled with big plays — a touchdown catch to tie
Tulane in 1939, two scoring catches against Penn
that same season and a touchdown-saving tackle from
behind of Duke's great Steve Lach in a 6-3 win over
the Blue Devils in 1940.

CHARLIE JUSTICE, HALFBACK, 1948-49
Twice a runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, Justice
is rated by many as the best all-around player in the
history of Southern football. He was a true triple-
threat performer, leading Carolina in rushing, passing
and punting from 1946 to 1949. He sparked Tar Heel
teams which appeared in the Sugar Bowl twice and
the Cotton Bowl once. He was the school's all-time
total offense leader with 4,883 yards for more than 40
years and also ranks as the Tar Heels' fourth-leading
career scorer, eighth-leading rusher and I8th-leading
passer. He had a career punting average of 42.6 and
averaged 14.2 yards on punt returns and 26.6 yards
on kickoff returns. In 1948 he received the national
player of the year award from the Washington
Touchdown Club and was the recipient of the Walter
Camp Memorial Trophy. Justice is a member of the
College Football Hall of Fame.
Charlie Justice (left) and Art Weiner, both members of
the College Football Hall of Fame, helped lead the Tar
Heels to back-to-back New Year's Day bowl games in
1949-50.
KEN POWELL, DEFENSIVE END, 1949
Powell teamed with Art Weiner to give UNC a for-
midable pass receiving threat in the post-Wold War II
"Justice Era." He was outstanding in the 1947 Sugar
Bowl against Georgia and earned first-team All-
America honors at defensive end in 1949 by NEA.
That organization named Powell to its All-America
Team on defense, the first time it selected All-
Americas on both offense and defense. He finished
his career with 23 receptions for 324 yards and three
touchdowns.
ART WEINER, END, 1948-49
A great all-around end, Weiner led the nation in
receiving in 1949 with 52 catches. He had been sev-
enth nationally in receiving the previous year with 31
catches. His 106 career catches are the ninth-most in
school history and until 1997 he held the UNC career
record with 18 touchdown receptions. Many remem-
ber him best for a game-saving defensive play on the
last snap of the 1949 Duke game. Weiner was named
the most outstanding lineman in the Senior Bowl.
Weiner was inducted into the College Football Hall
of Fame in 1992.

IRV HOLDASH, CENTER, 1950^
While Carolina's football fortunes slipped in the
years immediately following the Charlie Justice Era,
Holdash still received national attention for his out-
standing play. A center on offense and linebacker on
defense. Holdash was a three-year regular who never
missed a game during his varsity career. He perhaps
sealed All- America honors in 1950 with a sensational
performance in a 14-7 loss at Notre Dame. Irish quar-
terback Bobby Williams called him "the best I've
played against."
AL GOLDSTEIN, END, 1958
An outstanding two-way end, Goldstein earned All-
America honors in 1 958 by making 24 catches for 490
yards, averaging an amazing 20.4 yards per reception.
Adept at making the seemingly impossible catch,
he had a 68-yard TD reception at Virginia. He also
starred defensively and had a 46-yard interception
return for a touchdown against Maryland.

catching was a key factor as Carolina rolled to a 9-2
record, defeating Air Force, 35-0, in the Gator Bowl.
Lacey was also the team's top receiver in 1962 with
44 catches. He was the first Tar Heel player to have at
least 40 catches in two seasons. His career total of 102
receptions is the lOth-best in school history.

McCauley shattered the Carolina and the Atlantic

senior season in 1970. He rushed for 1,720 yards
and scored 21 touchdowns, setting marks which still
stand. His 1 .720 yards was an all-time collegiate high
at the time, breaking O.J. Simpson's NCAA record.
McCauley led the nation in all-purpose running that
season. He was twice the ACC Player of the Year and
still ranks fifth in career rushing at UNC. He had a
lengthy professional career with the Baltimore Colts.
He was inducted into the College Football Hall of
Fame in 2002.

Don McCauley is carried off the field by the Kenan Stadium faithful following his legendary final home game
performance in 1 970. McCauley rushed for 279 yards and scored five touchdowns in a 59-42 win over the Blue
Devils.
RON RUSNAK, OFFENSIVE GUARD, 1972
Rusnuk was a unanimous All-America selection in
1972 as Carolina posted an 11-1 record. At 6-2 and
220 pounds, he did not have the size to play profes-
sional football, but Rusnak was a great college player.
He was a two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference
choice, starting on teams which combined for a 20-4
record. In 1972 he won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy
as the best blocker in the ACC.
KEN HUFF, OFFENSIVE GUARD, 1974
Huff was a key man on one of the most explosive
units in Carolina history. He was the leader of an
offensive line which helped the Tar Heels accumulate
4,691 yards, at the time a school record, in 1974.
The 6-4, 255-pound Huff won the Jacobs Blocking
Trophy as the best blocker in the Atlantic Coast
Conference. Sparked in great part by his play up front,
the Tar Heels had two backs rush for over 1 ,000 yards
in the same season. Huff was the third player selected
in the NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts.
CHARLES WADDELL, TIGHT END, 1974
Waddell rates as one of the best all-around athletes in
Carolina history. He won three football letters, two in
basketball and one in track. Not only was he a fine
receiver at tight end. but he was also a dynamic block-
er. He set a school single-game record in 1974 with
three touchdown catches against Clemson. He had 41
career catches for 518 yards and seven TDs. His pro-
fessional career was cut short by a knee injury.

A two-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection,
Hardison played on one of the top defensive teams
in Carolina history. UNC led the nation in scoring
defense in 1977, giving up just 7.4 points a game.
The Tar Heels led the ACC in total, rushing, passing
and scoring defense. A big reason was the play of
Hardison, a 6-3, 252-pound tackle who dominated the
line of scrimmage all season. After leaving Carolina
he began a lengthy NFL career with the Buffalo
Bills/
RICKY BARDEN, DEFENSIVE BACK, 1979
One of the top defensive backs in Carolina history.
Burden was a repeat All-Atlantic Coast Conference
selection in 1978 and 1979. Burden made nine cureer
interceptions. He started at cornerback for two years
and then was shifted to strong safety for his final year
where he broke up nine passes and was the third-lead-
ing tackier on the team. His 156 yards on interception
returns are the third-most in school history.
Lawrence Taylor dominated college football in 1980,
earning ACC player of the year honors.
LAWRENCE TAYLOR, OUTSIDE
LINEBACKER, 1980
From midwa) in Ins junioi season until the end ol
his senior year in 1980, Taylor dominated the foot-
ball field as few defensive players ever had Now
regarded as the finest outside linebacker in the his
tory of the game, Taylor had a remarkable senior
season which featured a school-record 16 quarterback
sacks and six other tackles for losses. In Carolina's
only close games in an I 1-1 season. Taylor made the
game-saving defensive plays against Texas Tech and
Clemson. He was a runaway selection as ACC Player
ol the Year.

Wooten won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 1980 as
the best blocker in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He
was the leading vote-getter in the offensive line on
the All-ACC team. He was one of the leaders of an
offensive line which helped the Tar Heels lead the
ACC in total offense and which also helped produce
two 1. 000-yard backs. He went on to become a start-
ing guard with New England in the NFL.
DAVID DRECHSLER, OFFENSIVE GUARD,
1981-82
Drechsler became Curolina's first two-time All-
America since Charlie Justice and Art Weiner when
he earned first-team honors in 1981 and 1982. He
played every position in the offensive interior during
his Carolina career, but settled in at guard. The 6-4,
253-pound Drechsler played on Tur Heel teams which
were 37-10-1 and were unbeaten in four bowl games.
He also was the winner of a post-graduate scholar-
ship from the NCAA. Drechsler went on to become a
starter with the Green Buy Packers until a back injury
forced him to give up the game.
WILLIAM FULLER, DEFENSIVE TACKLE,
1982-83
Fuller is one of just six Carolina players to win first-
team All-Americu honors twice. Although powerfully
built at 6-3 and 250 pounds. Fuller's greatest asset
was his quickness. He used that quickness to make 13
tackles for losses and six sacks in 1982 and 17 tackles
for losses with five sucks the following year. He was
the only ununimous choice on the 1983 All-ACC
team und is one of just three defensive linemen ever
to make All-ACC for three straight years.

BRIAN BLADOS, OFFENSIVE TACKLE, 1983
When two Carolina tailbacks ran for over 1 ,000 yards
in 1983, much of that yardage came behind Blados.
The 6-6, 305-pound left tackle dominated the line
of scrimmage as Carolina set a school total offense
record and finished seventh nationally in yardage.
Blados was named on 90 of 100 ballots in voting for
the All-Atlantic Coast Conference team. He was a
first round choice by the Cincinnati Bengals in the
NFL draft.
HARRIS BARTON, OFFENSIVE TACKLE,
1986
Barton was a four-year starter for the Tar Heels, first
at center and then at tackle. With so many teams
playing even-man front defenses. Barton was moved
to tackle in 1984 to take better advantage of his skills.
He excelled at left tackle, the key blocking spot in
the Carolina passing game. As a senior, he led an
offensive line which helped the Tar Heels rank first in
the Atlantic Coast Conference and sixth nationally in
total offense. An excellent student, he was chosen for
a post-graduate scholarship by the National Football
Foundation and was a first-round selection in the
NFL draft.
PAT CROWLEY, OFFENSIVE GUARD, 1989
Crowley was a standout offensive guard and a leader
of the first of Mack Brown's teams. He won first-
team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors in 1987,
1988 and 1989 and became only the second offensive
lineman in conference history to win three all-league
honors (Virginia's Jim Dombrowski was the other).
He started every game in his college career and
helped open the way for a pair of 1, 000-yard backs
(Derrick Fenner in 1986 and Kennard Martin in
1988). He is one of three Tar Heels to be named first-
team All-ACC in three seasons.
BRACEY WALKER, FREE SAFETY, 199JL
The first Carolina defensive back to ever receive first-
team All-America honors by a major organization.
Walker burst onto the scene in 1992 when he was one
of the stars of the Peach Bowl win over Mississippi
State. Walker blocked two punts in that game,
returned one of them for a tying touchdown and set
up the game-winning interception with a jarring colli-
sion. He was the Defensive MVP of the Peach Bowl.
In 1993 he led the Tar Heels with 100 tackles and
was the co-leading vote-getter on the All-ACC first
team defense. He also blocked four more punts, two
of which were recovered in the end zone by Carolina,
and was named the National Special Teams Player of
the Year by Sports Illustrated.

1995
Jones became the first Tar Heel to earn consensus
first-team All-America honors since Harris Barton in
1986 and the first defensive lineman since William
Fuller in 1982-83. Jones had 25 career sacks and
finished with 222 tackles. That included 46 behind
the line of scrimmage. He broke Lawrence Taylor's
school record for sacks and held that mark until Greg
Marcus Jones posted seven sacks and 19 tackles for
losses in 1 995 en route to the ACC Defensive Player of
the Year honors.
Ellis broke the record in 1997. He was named the
Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the
Year in 1995 and earned first-team All-ACC honors
for the second straight season. He became the first Tar
Heel defender to repeat all-conference selections since
Tim Goad in 1986-87. As a senior he had a career-
high 94 tackles, despite facing constant double- and
triple-team efforts. He registered an ACC-leading 19
tackles for losses for 74 yards, seven of which were
quarterback sacks. He was hampered in the first half
of the season by a knee sprain. Over the last five
weeks, however, he averaged 10.8 tackles per game
and had 16 tackles for losses for 65 yards, including
six sacks for 41 yards, and pressured the quarterback
13 times. Quite fittingly, Jones capped his career by
sacking Arkansas quarterback Barry Lunney on the
Razorbacks' final offensive play in Carolina's 20-10
win in the 1995 Carquest Bowl.

vm NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY BOOK • CHARLIE "CHOO-CHOO" JUSTICE
Charlie Justice
was more than just a
great football player.
He was a bonafide
superstar. ..a hero. ..a
legend in his own
time. He had an
impact on his home
state that no other
athlete had ever had
before or few have
had since.
During his four
years in Chapel Hill,
from 1946 to 1949,
Justice helped guide
the Tar Heels to three major bowls. For one week
during the 1948 season Carolina was ranked as the
nation's No. 1 college football team. The Tar Heels
ended that year rated third, the best finish in school
history.
It is no wonder then he was held in great esteem
by everyone in the state. Certainly, the time was
right for a hero like Charlie Justice. World War II
had just ended and people wanted to turn their atten-
tion to more pleasant things. They wanted someone
to help them forget the trauma they had just suffered
So they looked for heroes and they found Charlie
Justice.
In his book, They Made the Bell Tower Chime,
Bob Quincy summed up Charlie Justice's college
career quite succinctly. An excerpt is repeated here:
The Justice era of 1946-49 was the most exciting
in Carolina's football history. Charlie was the ring-
leader of a circus of thrills. He set the pace, but his
backing was superb.
The Tar Heels operated from the single wing with
the kinds of variations that at times resembled the
Harlem Globetrotters' pre-game ball-handling act.
The four seasons netted 32 victories, seven losses
and two deadlocks, plus three major bowl appear-
ances.
The 170-pound Justice was one of the nation's
most sought-after players when he enrolled at
Carolina. Some called him the hottest property in
the history of football at that time. He had been a
standout at Asheville's Lee Edwards High, leading
the Maroons to two unbeaten seasons. He was All-
Southern two years at Asheville, and as a member
of the Shrine Bowl football team in 1942 he scored
three touchdowns against South Carolina, a record
that still stands.
The Navy became home for Charlie during the
war years, and he became a phantom on a pro-
studded Bainbridge Navy Squad. After two years
of romping for Bainbridge against opponents across
the country, he was a target for pro offers from the
Philadelphia Eagles and Washington.
Charlie wanted an education, and scouts stayed
in pursuit. He chose Chapel Hill after seriously
considering South Carolina and Duke. An off-hand
remark by Snavely — "I hope he comes out for
football" — became a classic understatement.
In the Virginia game his freshman year he
gained 170 yards in 17 carries with runs of 18, 40,
and 56 yards. He had seen little practice because of
a leg injury, but the Cavaliers were certain he car-
ried a spare appendage.
Choo Choo (he acquired the name at Bainbridge
when a gob remarked, "He runs along just like
a choo choo train,") was excitement. He was all
eagerness on the sidelines and all business when he
moved into the tailback slot. He thrived on duty,
and he was a master of the quick kick, a devastat-
ing rusher, a good passer, and a fake artist who
could charm a cobra.
Jack Fitch, a thick-legged back who occasionally
shared duty with Justice when not playing on the
wing, sized up Charlie's style by noting, "Justice has
the ability to be running at full speed, stop suddenly,
and then be back at full speed almost instantly. He
was never regarded as fast in terms of a track man.
He had a change of pace that couldn't be matched,
and he knew how to follow blockers as well as any
back I've ever watched."
The Snavely system called for a spinning fullback,
fakes and counter fakes, fullback pass plays and
reverses. It was a dashing brand of football made
more exciting by players' ability and maturity to
accept Snavely's often complicated
maneuvers.
A book, "Choo Choo", documents
the career of Charlie Justice. He was
a folk hero and deserved the special
treatment. The great Benny Goodman
and the late Johnny Long recorded
the Campbell-Beebe song, "All The
Way Choo Choo." It sold by the
thousands.
Typical of Justice was the Georgia
game of 1948. He scored three times
against the Bulldogs in a 21-14 tri-
umph, the climax being an 84-yard
punt return. At mid-way point that
season, the Tar Heels were ranked
No. 1 in the nation.
Justice erased more records than a
company of auditors during his four
years at UNC. He scored 234 points
and passed or ran for 64 touchdowns.
As a ball carrier he accumulated
2,634 yards.
His total offense record of 4,883
yards lasted for 45 years until quar-
terback Jason Stanicek broke the
mark in 1994. Justice, graciously,
was on hand to congratulate Stanicek.
Justice seemed to peak when
the traditional games were being
played. He led the Tar Heels to four
straight wins over Duke. He was an
All-America mention as a freshman
and made many of the major teams
as a junior and as a senior. He was
runnerup for the Heisman Trophy to
Doak Walker of SMU in 1949.
Charlie's finest moment came in
the College All-Star Game of 1950
at Chicago's Soldier Field. He was
voted the MVP of the game for good
reason. The All-Stars walloped the
Philadelphia Eagles, led by Steve
Van Buren, 17-7. Justice gained 133 yards individu-
ally, or 48 more than the Eagles posted as a team.
He set up a touchdown on a 60-yard pass from Eddie
LeBaron.
Justice passed away in Cherryville on October 17,
2003. He was 79. The next day, Carolina played
Arizona State at Kenan Stadium and the number 22
was painted at the 22-yard line in Justice's honor.
A statue of legendary Tar Heel Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice was dedi-
cated in 2004.

Twenty-six former University of North Carolina
football players have been honored in a special
fashion as their names and jersey numbers have
been placed on the facade of Kenan Stadium's
upper deck. The men honored include five who have
already had their jersey numbers retired, Carolina's
consensus first-team All-Americas and any athlete
who was named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of
the Year. Consensus All-Americas are those players
who made the majority of the first-team selections in
any given year. In 2003, the Athletics Council and
Athletic Director Dick Baddour voted to also honor
five first-team Associated Press All-Americas and
two players who were among the ACC's greatest 50
football players.

a sensational punter and kick returner. He was the
1948 National Player of the Year.
ART WEINER "50
An outstanding two-way end from 1946 to 1949,
whose number has been retired. Weiner won All-
America honors in 1948 and 1949 and was the

the top lineman in the Senior Bowl, Weiner is a
member of the National Football Hall of Fame. He is
still ninth in UNC receptions with 106.
DANNY TALBOTT "10
A guard and linebacker from 1932 to 1934, whose
number has been retired. He was the school's first

North Carolina's Sports Hall of Fame. A guard and
linebacker at 5-11, 185 pounds. Barclay was a stand-
out for three seasons under coaches Chuck Collins
and Carl Suavely. A tremendous blocker and fero-
cious tackier, he was captain of the 1934 team that
went 7-1-1 . Barclay later served as UNC's head
coach from 1953 until 1955.
ANDY BERSHAK *59
A great two-way end from 1935 to 1937 who was
a consensus All-America in 1937. His number also
has been retired. Bershak was a brilliant defender
and his team's top receiver. He also was a starter on
the basketball team and an honor student. Bershak
was selected to the Order of the Golden Fleece
and served as president
of the Carolina Athletic
Association.
BILL SUTHERLAND
"46
A blocking back on the
1946 Sugar Bowl team,
whose number has been
retired. He died in an
auto accident after his
freshman year, stun-
ning his teammates and

Sutherland was named
one of the Tar Heels'
three captains for what
would have been his
sophomore season and
Snavely worked to
ensure that his number
would be retired.
CHARLIE JUSTICE "22
One of the most famous and
popular athletes in the history of
the state. Justice was a consensus
All-America and twice runner-up
for the Heisman Trophy. During
his four seasons, 1946-49, Carolina
went to the Sugar Bowl twice and
the Cotton Bowl once. A single- wing
tailback, he still holds many of the

and scoring that season. He had 318 yards of total
offense in one game against Georgia, at the time a
school record.
DON MCCAULEY "23
The ACC Player of the Year as a junior and senior
and a consensus All-America in 1970, his final sea-
son. McCauley was the first of Carolina's NCAA-
record 23 backs to rush for 1 ,000 yards. He twice
led the ACC in rushing with 1,092 yards in 1969 and
1 ,720 in 1970. That latter total at the time broke O.J.
Simpson's single-season NCAA record. He also led
the nation in all-purpose running as a senior and his
126 points that year still is the league record.
RON RUSNAK «62
134 • TARHEELBLUE.COM
An offensive guard on three
bowl teams from 1970 to
1972 who won unanimous
All-America honors in his
senior season. At 6-2, 220
pounds. Rusnak wasn't as big
as some linemen, but had great
technique. He was the corner-
stone of the offensive front on
the 1972 team, which went
11-1. Rusnak was a two-
time All-Atlantic Coast
Conference choice on
teams which combined for
a 20-4 record. He won the
Jacobs Blocking Trophy in
1 972 as the best blocker in
the ACC.

A three-year starter at offen-
sive guard from 1972 to 1974

as a senior. Huff was a dynamic
blocker at 6-4 and 250 pounds.
He was the key figure on the
974 line which helped Carolina
boast a pair of 1 ,000-yard backs
and lead the ACC in total offense,
rushing and scoring. Led by Huff,
UNC accumulated 4,691 yards, at the
time a school record. The Tar Heels
were fifth nationally in total offense
and ninth in scoring that season. Huff
won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as
the best blocker in the Atlantic Coast

MIKE VOIGHT "44
A hard-running tailback
from 1973 to 1976 who
was the ACC Player of the
Year as both a junior and
senior. Voight is second in
Carolina history in rushing
with 3,971 yards and third
in scoring with 254 points.
He had three 1 ,000-yard
seasons and twice was the
top ground-gainer in the
ACC. In 1976 he scored
1 10 points and ran for
1,407 yards, including
261 in his final game —a
dramatic 39-38 shootout
with Duke.
DEE HARDISON "71
A defensive tackle from
1974 to 1977 and a con-
sensus All-America as
a senior. Hardison was
the star of one of Carolina's greatest defenses in
his final year. He dominated the line of scrimmage
all season long as the Tar Heels led the nation in
scoring defense in 1977, giving up just 7.4 points a
game. Carolina also topped the ACC in total, rush-
ing and pass defense that year. No team would lead
the league in all four again until Florida State in its
1993 national championship season.
LAWRENCE TAYLOR "98
An outside linebacker from 1977 to 1980 who is
regarded as the greatest player of all time at that
position. Taylor was a consensus All-America and
the ACC Player of the Year in 1980. He had a
Carolina-record 1 6 quarterback sacks that season
for losses totaling 127 yards. Sparked by his play,
the Tar Heels went 1 1-1 in 1980 and won the ACC
championship.
WILLIAM FULLER "95
A defensive lineman from 1980 to 1983 who was
a consensus All-America as a senior. Also honored
as a first-team All-America as a junior, he is one of
only six Tar Heel players to be named first-team All-
America twice. Fuller, who utilized his tremendous
quickness to slice through offensive lines, had 22
tackles for losses in both 1981 and 1983. He is one
of only three defensive linemen ever to make the
AU-ACC team three times.
ETHAN HORTON "12
The Associated Press ACC Player of the Year as a
senior. Horton rushed for 1 .247 yards in 1984 after
a 1,107-yard performance in 1983. He was named
the game's co-MVP in UNC's 1981 Gator Bowl win
over Arkansas and was the MVP of the 1982 Sun
Bowl.
» NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY BOOK • HONORED JERSEYS
MARCUS JONES "71
A defensive end/tackle from 1942 to 1495 who was
a consensus All-America and the ACC Defensive

quarterback sacks to break Lawrence Taylor's school
record. A two-time first-team All-ACC selection,
Jones led a Tar Heel defense which had the ACC's
No. 1 rated total defense in 1945. He finished his
career with 222 tackles, including 46 for losses.
Jones helped Carolina to four straight bowl invita-
tions and wins in the 1993 Peach and 1995 Carquest
Bowls.
GREG ELLIS "87
A defensive end from 1994 to 1997, Ellis is UNC's
all-time leader in quarterback sacks. The Wendell,
N.C., native had 32.5 sacks for 253 yards in his
career. He anchored a defense that was second in the
country in total yards in each of his final two sea-
sons. Carolina posted a 21-3 record in that span and
had consecutive Top 10 finishes in the polls. Ellis is
one of only four players in Carolina football history
to be named first-team All-ACC three times. He was
voted by his teammates as a team captain and the
best overall senior. He was the eighth selection in
the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Dallas
Cowboys.
BRIAN SIMMONS "41
An outside linebacker from 1994 to 1947, Simmons
was a major contributor in Carolina's rise to the
Top 10 in his final two seasons. A first-round draft
selection of the Cincinnati Bengals in '47. Simmons
had 317 tackles over his last three seasons. He was
named first-team All-America as a senior by the
Associated Press, Walter Camp Foundation and
Football News and was a first-team All-ACC selec-
tion and second-team AP All-America as a junior.
The New Bern. N.C., native finished his career with
36 tackles for losses and 1 1 sacks.
DRE' BLY "31
The Chesapeake, Va., native is the only player in
Atlantic Coast Conference history to earn first-team
All-America honors in three different seasons. Bly
became the first freshman defensive player in col-
lege football history to earn consensus first-team
All-America honors in 1446. When he repeated con-
sensus honors in 1497, he became the first two-time
consensus All-America in UNC football history. In
1498. he set the all-time ACC record for intercep-
tions with 20 and was named first-team All-America
by the Walter Camp Foundation. Bly led the nation
as a freshman with 1 1 interceptions in the regular
season and added two more pass thefts in the Gator
Bowl win over West Virginia. Bly was named first-
team All-America in 1996 by the Associated Press,
The Sporting News, the Football Writers and the
Walter Camp Foundation. In 1997. Bly added five
more interceptions and was named All-America by
the Associated Press, the Walter Camp Foundation,
the Football Writers and Football News.
Amos Lawrence is the only ACC player to rush for
1 ,000 yards in four consecutive seasons.
JULIUS PEPPERS, "49
A unanimous All-America selection in 2001 .
Peppers won the 200 1 Lombardi Award as the
nation's top lineman. He also won the Chuck
Bednarik Award as the nation's top overall defensive
player, earned All-America honors in 2000 and was
a two-time first-team All-ACC selection. Peppers
ranks second at UNC and sixth in the ACC in career
sacks, despite playing just three seasons. He led the
nation with 15 sacks as a junior. One of the top two-
sport athletes in ACC history. Peppers was a forward
on UNC's basketball team where he helped the Tar
Heels advance to the 2000 Final Four and earn a
share of the 2001 ACC regular-season title.
KELVIN BRYANT, "44
A three-time first-team All-ACC tailback. Bryant
ranks fourth at UNC with 3,267 rushing yards. He
had three consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons
from 1980-82. Despite injuries, he had 1.015 yards
in seven games in 1981. He rushed for more than
100 yards in a game on 19 occasions and scored
six touchdowns in a game against East Carolina
in 1981. Bryant holds the NCAA record for most
touchdowns scored in two and three consecutive
games ( 1 1 and 15. respectively). He played eight
years of professional football.
HARRIS BARTON, "67
Barton was a four-year starter for the Tar Heels, first
at center and then at tackle. With so- many teams
playing even-man front defenses. Barton was moved
to tackle in 1984 to take better advantage of his skills.
He excelled at left tackle, the key blocking spot in
the Carolina passing game. As a senior, he led an
offensive line which helped the Tar Heels rank first in
the Atlantic Coast Conference and sixth nationally in
total offense. An excellent student, he was chosen for
a post-graduate scholarship by the National Football
Foundation and was a first-round selection in the
NFL draft.
CAROLINA'S ACC TOP 50 PLAYERS
In 2002, the Atlantic Coast Conference celebrated its
50th Anniversary and named the 50 greatest football
players that have played in the conference. Carolina
had eight players among that list, including:
Dre' Bly
Kelvin Bryant
William Fuller
Amos Lawrence
Don McCauley
Julius Peppers
Lawrence Taylor
Mike Voight
BRIAN BLADOS, "60
When two Carolina tailbacks ran for over 1 ,000 yards
in 1983, much of that yardage came behind Blados.
The 6-6, 305-pound left tackle dominated the line
of scrimmage as Carolina set a school total offense
record and finished seventh nationally in yardage.
Blados was named on 90 of 100 ballots in voting for
the All-Atlantic Coast Conference team. He was a
first round choice by the Cincinnati Bengals in the
NFL draft.
IRV HOLDASH, "25
While Carolina's football fortunes slipped in the
years immediately following the Charlie Justice Era.
Holdash still received national attention for his out-
standing play. A center on offense and linebacker on
defense. Holdash was a three-year regular who never
missed a game during his varsity career. He perhaps
sealed All-America honors in 1950 with a sensational
performance in a 14-7 loss at Notre Dame. Irish quar-
terback Bobby Williams called him "the best I've
played against."
BOB LACEY, "85
Lacey led the Atlantic Coast Conference in receiving
in 1963 with 48 catches for 533 yards. His pass-
catching was a key factor as Carolina rolled to a 9-2
record, defeating Air Force, 35-0. in the Gator Bowl.
Lacey was also the team's top receiver in 1962 with
44 catches. He was the first Tar Heel player to have at
least 40 catches in two seasons. His career total of 102
receptions is the lOth-best in school history.
AMOS LAWRENCE, "20
The only ACC player and one of only four players
in college football history to rush for 1 .000 yards in
four consecutive seasons, Lawrence holds the UNC
career record and is second in ACC history with
4,391 yards rushing. He rushed for more than 100
yards in a game on 25 occasions and his 286 yards
rushing vs. Virginia in 1977 was NCAA freshman
rushing record at the time. Lawrence was named the
co-MVP in the 1979 Gator Bowl and was the MVP
of the 1480 Bluebonnet Bowl.
PAUL SEVERIN, "87
Severin was a two-time All-America selection by the
Associated Press (1939 and 1940) and made most
of the all-star teams in his senior season. His career
was filled with big plays — a touchdown catch to tie
Tulane in 1939. two scoring catches against Penn
that same season and a touchdown-saving tackle from
behind of Duke's great Steve Lach in a 6-3 win over
the Blue Devils in 1940.

1947 Sugar Bowl
New Orleans, La.
Georgia 20, Carolina 10
January 1, 1947
The 1947 Sugar Bowl, which
matched Carolina against
■ Georgia, is one of the most
famous Tar Heel games of the
Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice
, years and produced one of the
^ most controversial plays in howl
history.
Carolina was leading 7-0 in
the third period when Bulldog defensive right end
Joe Tereshinski intercepted a Tar Heel pass at the
Georgia 24-yard line. He then flipped a lateral to
Dick McPhee who raced 52 yards to the Carolina 14
The Tar Heels argued the lateral was a forward
one and the play should have been called back.
However, the officials ruled differently. Georgia
went on to score the tying touchdown on a quarter-
back sneak by Johnny Ranch.
Carolina's lone touchdown came on a Walt Pupa
two-yard run following an interception by Tar Heel
guard Bob Mitten.
The Tar Heels' last lead at 10-7 came on a Bob
Cox field goal.
The Georgia game-winner came on a 67-yard
touchdown pass from Trippi to Dan Edwards less
than three minutes after the UNC field goal.
The Dawgs' Charley Trippi rushed for 77 yards.
while Justice earned 18 times for 37 yards

December 28, 1963
It had been 13 years since
Charlie Justice had led Carolina
to the 1950 Cotton Bowl, so
when the Tar Heels got a chance
to play in the 1963 Gator Bowl,
they made the most of it. The
Tar Heels walloped the Air
Force, 35-0.
Ken Willard was the hero
of the day. He ran for 94 yards on 18 carries and
scored the first touchdown which keyed the runaway
victory. When Willard wasn't running in this rout,
he did his share of the offensive blocking.
Joe Robinson scored on a five-yard pass and also
caught a two-yard conversion to give the Tar Heels a
20-0 lead at intermission.
Coach Jim Hickey's Tar Heels had 23 first downs
to the Academy's 14, and piled up 370 yards in total
offense compared to 260 for the Falcons.
Gary Black completed all six of his passes for 71
yards and one touchdown and he rushed for another
score. Junior Edge was good on five of his nine
throws for 42 yards.
Carolina finished the season 9-2, its best record in
Hickey's eight years at the helm.

1Q"J For the first time since 1950,
I the Tar Heels were playing in a
' bowl game for the second con-
secutive season. This time, the
Tar Heels would fall, 7-3, to the
Georgia Bulldogs.
The game produced a bowl
| first — brothers coaching against
each other. Bill Dooley led the
Tar Heels and older brother Vince coached the
Dawgs.
The game was a defensive struggle with all the
points coming in the third quarter.
In the opening half, Carolina had the best chance
as linebacker Jimmy Webster, voted the Tar Heels'
MVP this day, blocked a punt out of bounds at the
Georgia 24. A fumble, though, denied Carolina any
points.
A pair of long runs by Lewis Jolley brought the
Tar Heels down to the Georgia 16 on UNC's first
possession of the second half. But a procedure pen-
alty forced the Heels to settle for a 35-yard field goal
by Ken Craven.
A 3 1 -yard pass play from Andy Johnson to Roy
Hunnicutt set up the Georgia touchdown. Jimmy
Poulos, on the very next play following Hunnicutt's
catch, took it in for a score from 25 yards. Poulos
rushed for 161 yards on the afternoon and was
named the Georgia MVP.

December 30, 1972
Carolina capped an 11-1 sea-
son in the 1972 Sun Bowl by
defeating Texas Tech, 32-28.
Quarterback Nick Vidnovic
brought the Tar Heels from
behind with a late scoring drive
which he capped by tossing a
1 3-yard touchdown pass to wing-
back Ted Leverenz.
That play, with a minute to go in the game, gave
UNC a 30-28 lead. Carolina added two points
moments later as Ronnie Robinson sacked quarter-
back Joe Barnes in the end zone.
The Tar Heels led 9-0 in the second quarter on
a field goal by Ellis Alexander and touchdown run
by Dick Oliver. The Red Raiders rallied, however,
for the next 21 points and a 21-9 lead. Vidnovic hit
Leverenz for a 62-yard touchdown and Billy Hite
carried it in from three yards to reestablish a 24-21
Carolina lead. Tech gained the advantage. 28-24,
with 7:41 to play in the game.
Vidnovic completed 14 of 26 passes for 215 yards
and two touchdowns. Ike Oglesby rushed for 71
yards and Sammy Johnson added 52.
The Red Raiders had a touchdown called back in
the second quarter. All-America guard Donald Rives
ran a blocked punt back for an apparent score, but
Tech was (lagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and
the points were nullified.

Kelvin Bryant rushed for I4S
yards and Ethan Morton added
144 to lead the Tar Heels to a
31-27 victory over Arkansas in
4 the Gator Bowl.
Bryant and Horton shared
Most Valuable Player honors,
I but it was a key defensive stop
by seldom-used freshman Ronnie
Snipes which saved the night for Carolina.
After building a 31-10 lead midway through the
fourth quarter, Carolina watched as Arkansas rallied
for two touchdowns and had the ball again inside
Tar Heel territory with less than a minute to play.
But on third down. Snipes, who had played just two
previous downs in the contest, sacked quarterback
Brad Taylor for a 17-yard loss.
The game was deadlocked at 10-10 at the half,
but Carolina came right out to open the third quarter
and put together a 13-play. 85-yard drive which was
capped by Horton's one-yard scoring run.
UNC quarterback Rod Elkins scored on a one-
yard sneak on the Tar Heels' next drive. He was set
up by a 21 -yard run by Horton and a 13-yard scam-
per by Bryant.
Horton then churned out 42 yards on six plays
and went in from four yards out to give the Heels a
31-10 lead with 7:29 to play in the game.
The Razorbacks scored with 5:05 to play, recov-
ered an onside kick and scored again with 2:44
left. UNC punter Jeff Hayes took an intentional
safety with 1:44 to play. That gave the ball back to
Arkansas and set up Snipes' defensive gem.

North Carolina scored the final
23 points ol the game in the final
quarter and held seventh-ranked
Texas to 48 total yards in the sec-
ond half as the Tar Heels became
he first ACC team to win lour
consecutive bowl games.
Ethan Horton was the offen-
sive star of the game, rushing
lor I 19 yards in the second hall as Carolina won
26-10. He replaced injured starter Kelvin Bryant,
who totaled 45 yards before leaving the game with
an injured ankle.
Trailing 10-3 after three quarters, the Tar Heels
vaulted into the lead via three consecutive field
goals. Sophomore walk-on Rob Rogers, who had
connected from 53 yards in the second quarter, hit a
47-yard field goal with 14:51 to play to narrow the
Texas lead to 10-6. Brooks Barwick was then suc-
cessful from 24 and 42 yards, the latter putting the
Heels into the lead at 12-10 with 4:56 left.
Horton tacked on a three-yard touchdown with
2:17 remaining and Mike Wilcher fell on a loose ball
in the end zone for another touchdown with 1:35 to
play.
The defensive series of the game came five min-
utes into the third quarter with Texas leading 10-3
and with the ball, third-and-goal at the Carolina one.
Two times. Texas fullback Ervin Davis tried to find
the end zone, but twice he was hurled back. First, it
was Wilcher who made the hit and then on 4th-and-
goal. Greg Poole made the stop which changed the
game.
The Christmas Day affair was played with inter-
mittent snow flumes and a wind-chill reading that
hovered around 12 degrees.

Arizona converted four North
m Carolina fumbles into 20 points
m and then held off a furious Tar
I ■ Heel rally in the fourth quarter to
I I win the 1986 Aloha Bowl, 30-21.
Carolina dug itself a 30-0 hole
and did not put points on the
board until freshman tailback
Torin Dorn broke a 58-yard
touchdown run with 2:19 left in the third quarter.
The Tar Heels fumbled five times in the first
three periods and the Wildcats turned them into two
touchdowns and two field goals.
Following Dorn's electrifying run, the Tar Heels
quickly moved back within striking distance with
two more touchdowns in the next seven minutes.
Mark Maye hit Randy Marriott with a six-yard
touchdown pass after a Norris Davis interception
and then followed a Davis punt block with a two-
yard scoring run of his own to narrow the margin to
30-21 with 9:10 to play.
That, however, was as close as Carolina could
challenge. A couple of dropped passes thwarted two
more Carolina drives.
Dorn was the game's leading ground-gainer,
rushing for 101 yards on only seven carries. Maye
completed 17 of 34 passes for 171 yards; he hooked
up with Eric Stan' a game-high seven times for 53
yards.

January 2, 1993
Defensive MVP Bracey
Walker blocked consecutive
third-quarter punts, returning one
of them for the tying touchdown,
and forced a fourth quarter inter-
ception which Cliff Baskerville
returned 44 yards for a touch-
down to lead Carolina to a 21-17
Peach Bowl win over Mississippi
State.
Walker's heroics capped a fierce second-half
comeback in which the Tar Heels came from 14
points behind to score three times, although just once
on an offensive possession.
MSU took a two-touchdown lead in the first quar-
ter and had two more scores in the second quarter
called back due to holding penalties.
Carolina regrouped at halftime, however, and cut
the lead to 14-7 just six plays into the third quarter.
Mike Thomas connected with Bueky Brooks for a
53-yard completion on the fourth play of the half
and Natrone Means scored from a yard out two
snaps later.
Means led the Tar Heel offense with 128 yards
rushing and was named the game's Offensive MVP.
Later in the third quarter. Walker blocked a punt
but Carolina's field goal try was unsuccessful. On
the next series UNC again forced the Bulldogs to
punt and this time Walker blocked the kick, picked
up the loose ball and raced 24 yards untouched for
the tying score.
Early in the final quarter Walker forced a midair
loose ball with a jarring hit and Baskerville plucked
the ball out of the air and sprinted 44 yards down the
left sideline for what proved to be the winning score.

Chris Keldorf threw for
I 290 yards and three scores and
Carolina's defense and special
■\ teams added touchdowns as the
Tar Heels pounded Virginia
Tech, 42-3, in the Toyota Gator

The victory, UNC's most lop-
sided in a bowl game, secured a
No. 4 final ranking in the coaches' poll for the 11-1
Tar Heels. The game was Carl Torbush's first as
Carolina's head coach. Torbush, UNC's defensive
coordinator the past 10 years, was elevated to head

ing touchdown throws of 62 and 14 yards to wide
receiver Octavus Barnes and four yards to fullback
Jamie Carrick.

Hokies to just 185 yards. Leading 3-0, Keldorf hit
Barnes with a 62-yard bomb down the left sideline
for a 10-0 lead. Later in the first quarter, Carolina
forced Virginia Tech to punt deep in Hokie terri-
tory. Quinton Savage blocked the punt and Die' Bly
scooped it up at the 6-yard line and scored for a 16-0
UNC advantage.
One minute and 10 seconds after Bly's touch-
down. Ellis fell on a loose ball in the Tech end zone
for another touchdown. Carolina scored 16 first-
quarter points in the entire regular season, but scored
16 in the first quarter of the Gator Bowl and six
more just seven seconds into the second quarter.

Kicker Ryan Ohliger scored
m a 2 1 -yard Take field goal run
to seal Boston College's 37-24
.ictory over North Carolina in
the Continental Tire Bowl.
Clinging to a 27-24 lead
! over North Carolina (6-6) in the
fourth quarter, BC quarterback
Paul Peterson was injured as he tried to run outside
for a first down on third-and-1 and was brought
down awkwardly by Tommy Davis. On the next
play, Ohliger, a 5-foot-9 freshman, took the handofl
from holder Matt Ryan and raced into the end zone,

with 10:32 to play. Before leaving, Peterson went
24-of-33 for 236 yards and two touchdowns.
Virginia represented the ACC in the first two

welcome change of scenery. Tar Heels fans snapped
up over 65,000 tickets, washing out the scattering of
Boston College supporters in a sea of light blue.
They had plenty to cheer about early as North
Carolina seized the momentum by scoring a pair of
touchdowns after Peterson's fumble and Ohliger's
missed field goal.
North Carolina quarterback Darian Durant threw
for 260 yards and three TDs in his final game as
a Tar Heel. He finished his storied career with 51

2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl
Charlotte, M.C.
West Virginia 31, Carolina 30
December 30, 2004
Pat White threw for 332
yards, including a 20-yard touch-
down pass to Alric Arnett mid-
way through the fourth quarter
to send West Virginia to a 31-30
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 touch-
downs for the Tar Heels (8-5), but T.J. Yates was
intercepted by Pat La/ear with under 2 minutes lelt
to end Butch Davis' hopes of a bowl win in his sec-
ond 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 4.4S0.
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 rilled a
pass between two defenders to Arnett for the go-
ahead touchdown with 7:14 left.
Yates couldn't find the dynamic Nicks on the Tar
Heels' final drive, eventually throwing his first inter-
ception of the game.
Nicks already set three school receiving records
and shattered his career-high in yards receiving -
with 10:37 left in the second quarter. It was part of
a dizzying offensive display by both teams that pro-
duced 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 23-21 lead. The action thrilled a sellout crowd at
Bank of America Stadium that included thousands of
fans from both schools.

NORTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL • MEDIA INFORMATION
ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS
Football media services are coordinated by Director
of Football Communications Kevin Best and Assistant
Athletic Communications Director John Martin. Please
direct interview, information and photo requests to
Best or Martin. Best's office is located on the fourth
floor of the Kenan Football Center. The main Athletic
Communications Office is located on the street level of the
Koury Natatorium, adjacent to the Dean E. Smith Center
and less than one mile from Kenan Stadium.
CREDENTIALS
Requests for working press credentials at Carolina
home football games should be made in writing on
station/newspaper/magazine letterhead to Associate
AD. for Communications Steve Kirschner. The mailing
address is P.O. Box 2126, Chapel Hill, NC. 27515.
Requests may be sent via fax (91 9-962-061 2) or e-mail
(stevekirschner@unc.edu), but all requests should be sent
so they reach the Athletic Communications Office at least
one week prior to the game.
Credentials will be mailed or they may be picked up
before 5 p.m. on Friday at the Athletic Communications
Office. Those credentials not picked up by 5 p.m. on
Friday will be left for Saturday pickup at Kenan Stadium
Will Call at the ticket window of Kenan Fieldhouse (old
fieldhouse, East endzone). Will Call opens three hours
prior to kickoff and will be staffed through the third
quarter.
SIDELINE POLICY
Photographers will not be allowed on the sidelines
without a UNC-issued photographer's vest. Vests will be
distributed in the press box beginning 90 minutes prior
to kickoff. Each photographer must sign in for his/her
own vest. Under NCAA and Atlantic Coast Conference
guidelines, photographers are not allowed between the
25-yard lines and must remain outside the restraining
lines surrounding the field. Credential holders not work-
ing will be asked to leave the sidelines. A representative
of the Athletic Communications Office will be on the field
to handle any questions and serve as field liaison to press
box officials. We ask, for the safety of others, that equip-
ment not be left unattended on the sidelines. If you are
shooting with a tripod, please keep a safe distance from
the playing field.
GAME DAY PARKING
Requests for parking passes should be made well in
advance to Steve Kirschner. Single-game parking passes
will be mailed. Parking is located either in the Rams
Head Deck on Ridge Road or the East Drive Deck at the
corner of East and Manning Drive.
POSTGAME INTERVIEWS
Following a brief cooling-off period, requested UNC
players will head directly to the interview area on the fifth
floor of Kenan Football Center for a 20-25 minute inter-
view period. The Tar Heels' locker room is closed.
Representatives from the Communications Office will
take player requests from the media during the fourth
quarter. Local television media who are on the field
during the game should make player requests prior to
the end of the game to the on-field Communications rep-
resentative.
Head coach Butch Davis will conduct a short interview
with Woody Durham for the Tar Heel Sports Network's
live broadcast while the players are in the interview area.
Davis will begin his postgame press conference after the
player interviews are completed.
After night games, Davis and the players will be avail-
able simultaneously due to deadline demands. Quotes
will be gathered from both Davis and several players for
distribution in the press box. Away game procedures will
vary, depending on available facilities.
Please note: Davis is contractually obligated to do a
short postgame interview with the Tar Heel Sports Radio
Network. After night games, great care will be taken to
get Davis to the general media as quickly as possible. We
understand everyone has deadline pressures after late
games and will do our best to provide access to Davis as
quickly as possible.
INTERNET AVAILABILITY
Kenan Stadium's press box is wireless. Media with
wireless capability should be able to connect to the
internet by turning on their computers and filling out the
on-line form.
PHONES
Several phones will be available for media use. All
long distance calls must be by credit card, collect or billed
to a third number. Anyone desiring a private phone
should contact Bell South at least two weeks prior to the
game. If you are calling from within the 91 9 area code,
dial 780-2800. However, if you are calling from outside
the 91 9 area code, then you must dial 1 -800-91 9-2800.
Phone lines and ethernet access are available for
use by photographers only in the main press area.
UNC Director of Photography Jeffrey Camarati coordi-
nates the photographer's work area.
Note: The on-campus building number for the press
box at Kenan Stadium, for which you will be asked, is
#51 9. List Steve Kirschner as the stadium contact for plac-
ing the phone.
Fax machines are available for media use.
Media should make a representative of the Athletic
Communications Office aware of their fax needs prior to
the end of the game.
INTERVIEWS WITH HEAD COACH BUTCH DAVIS
Butch Davis will meet with the media at 1 1 :30 a.m.
each Monday prior to a game. Davis will meet with the
print and TV media for approximately 30 minutes. Out-
of-town media may access the print portion of the press
conference by phone. You can listen and ask questions,
time permitting, by using this service. Contact Kevin Best
for the phone number.
Davis is also available on the weekly ACC
Teleconference on Wednesdays. Contact the ACC or Best
for the time and phone number. Davis will also be avail-
able via teleconference for 1 5 minutes on Sundays (day
after games only) at 5 p.m. Contact Best for the number.
PLAYER INTERVIEWS
All player interviews should be arranged through Kevin
Best or John Martin. Players have been instructed not to
grant an interview request unless they have been set up
in this manner. The interviews will generally be conducted
prior to the start of football practice at Kenan Football
Center. All interviews are to be conducted on Tuesday,
Wednesday or Thursday.
Telephone interviews are conducted at the player's con-
venience. Usually they are handled by players returning
calls before practice. No home numbers for players will
be given out and players have been told not to accept
calls from anyone asking football-related questions.
Please do not show up and wait for players unan-
nounced on campus, at players' housing or the
Football Center. The players have been instructed to
politely decline the request and refer the person to the
Communications Office.
Players may do taped radio interviews but will not be
available for live call-in radio shows.
Note: Due to the overwhelming number of all-sports
radio talk stations, players will generally not be available
to appear on these shows. Hometown stations, stations in
that week's opponent's market or national shows may be
accommodated.

Sports Network
Learfield Communications begins its 1 Ith full year as the official media rights holder for
the University of North Carolina athletic teams..
Based in Jefferson City, Missouri, Learfield purchased Tar Heel Sports Properties in
October 1999, adding the UNC property to 50 other schools under the Learfield umbrella.
Among those for which Learfield also owns the rights are Alabama, Clemson, Colorado,
Oklahoma. Indiana, Miami (Fla.), Missouri and Wisconsin.
"Our goal is to continue and add to the tremendous tradition and fan following at
Carolina," says Gary Sobba, the nine-year General Manager for Tar Heel Sports Properties.
"I have worked on various college campuses for more than 20 years," adds Sobba, "and
if there is a better athletic program in the country than this one, I don't know where it is."
Tar Heel Sports Properties is in its 15th year as UNC's multimedia rights holder. All
Carolina fans have heard of the Tar Heel Sports Network, which broadcasts the play-by-
play of football and basketball games, but that is only one facet of the operation.
Tar Heel Sports Properties is a full-service agency overseeing production and sales of all
the University of North Carolina's football and basketball entities including television, print
products, internet and radio.
THSP brings you a variety of ways to follow the Heels during the athletic season.
Simply, listen to your radio during the week for "Butch Davis Live" and "Roy Williams
Live" or watch game highlights Saturday mornings on "Inside Carolina Football and
Basketball," and on "Tar Heel Football Review Show" in the Triangle. When you are at
Kenan Stadium pick-up the official game program.
The Tar Heel Sports Network continues to bring the great tradition of Carolina sports
into your home.
Woody Durham, beginning his 39th year as the "Voice of the Tar Heels," and head
coach Butch Davis give fans an opportunity to phone in and talk with the Coach every week
during the football season on the "Butch Davis Live" call in show.
Durham also will visit with Coach Davis on "Inside Carolina Football", a daily five-min-
ute program featuring conversations with the Tar Heels' Head Coach. Both of these shows
are heard on stations throughout North Carolina and beyond.
"Inside Carolina Football with Butch Davis," hosted by Durham, is a half-hour television
program seen each week on Fox Sports South. The show features highlights of the previ-
ous game, interviews with current and former Tar Heel players, and a preview of upcoming
action.
Woody Durham
"The Voice of the Tar Heels"
39th year at North Carolina
A 2005 North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame inductee,
Woody Durham enters his 39th year as the "Voice of the
Tar Heels" this fall.
Since September 1971, Durham has broadcast more than
1,700 Carolina football and basketball games, and the Tar
Heels have won more than 72 percent of those games.
A native of Mebane, N.C., Durham grew up in
Albemarle, N.C., where he began his broadcasting career
with WZKY Radio at age 16. He graduated from UNC in 1963 with an AB degree in
Radio, Television and Motion Pictures, and spent 19 years as a TV sportscaster with stints
in Greensboro and Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill.
In 1981 , Durham joined Tar Heel Sports Properties, which produces the Tar Heel
Sports Network, on a full-time basis, and in 1984, he permanently moved his family to
Chapel Hill. He and his wife of 46 years, Jean, are the parents of two sons. Wes, 43,
Georgia's Sportscaster of the Year, is in his 15th year handling play-by-play duties at
Georgia Tech, and his sixth year handling the play-by-play duties for the NFL's Atlanta
Falcons Taylor, 36, is a network recruitment manager with International Sports Properties
in Winston-Salem. Woody and Jean have 10-year-old twin grandchildren, Emily and Will.
Durham has been named North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year on 1 2 different occa-
sions, most recently in 2005. In fact. Woody and Wes were both honored by the National
Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in Salisbury on May 1, 2006. Wes has been
chosen the Georgia Sportscaster of the Year five times, including most recently in April
of 2008.
In 1993, Woody was inducted into the Stanly County Sports Hall of Fame. In 1994,
he received the Priceless Gem Award from the UNC Department of Athletics. The fol-
lowing year, the General Alumni Association presented him with its Distinguished Service
Medal. In November 2000, the LINC Board of Trustees honored him with the William
R. Davie Award. During the 2002 ACC Basketball Tournament, he received the Marvin
"Skeeter" Francis Award for special services to the ACC. In 2003, Durham was honored
by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, along with former Carolina foot-
ball coach Bill Dooley, with the Russell Blunt Legends Award for being a true legend in
athletics.
Durham was inducted into the North Carolina Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame
in 2004, honoring individuals who have made significant contributions to the North
Carolina broadcast industry. He also has received the Lindsey Nelson Outstanding
Sportscaster Award from the All-American Football Association (June, 2005).
In addition to his play-by-play duties, Durham also visits with Coach Butch Davis on
"Inside Carolina Football," a daily five-minute radio program. He is with Coach Davis
every Wednesday evening during the football season for "Butch Davis Live," a radio call-
in show which originates from Top Of The Hill restaurant in downtown Chapel Hill. He
also hosts "Inside Carolina Football with Butch Davis," a weekly half-hour TV show on
Fox Sports South.

NORTH CAROLINA FOOTBALL • CAROLINA TRADITIONS
WHY TAR HEELS?
University of North Carolina athletic
teams are known as the Tar Heels because
North Carolina is "The Tar Heel State."
One legend has the nickname being
applied to the state's residents as long ago
as the Revolutionary War. According to this
story, the troops of British General Cornwallis
were fording what is now known as the Tar
River between Rocky Mount and Battleboro
when they discovered that tar had been
dumped into the stream to impede their
crossing. When they finally got across the
river they found their feet completely black
with tar. Their observation that anyone who
waded North Carolina rivers would acquire
tar heels led to the nickname first being used.
Others say the nickname was acquired
during the Civil War. During one of that
war's fiercest battles a column supporting
North Carolina troops was driven from the
field. After the battle, the North Carolinians
who had successfully fought it out alone, hap-
pened to meet the regiment which had fled
to safety and were greeted with the question,
"Any more tar down in the Old North State,
boys?"
"No, not a bit," shot back one of the
North Carolina soldiers. "Old Jeff's bought
it all up," he went on, referring to Jefferson
Davis, President of the Confederacy.
"Is that so? What's he going to do with
it?"
"He's going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."
Upon hearing of the incident, Robert E. Lee smiled and said to a fellow officer, "God
bless the Tar Heel boys."
A letter found in 1991 by State Archivist David Olson lends credence to another
more direct theory. A letter from Maj. Joseph Engelhard describes a fight involving men
from North Carolina in which Lee was heard to have said, "There they stand as if they
have tar on their heels."
The letter, dated August 24, 1 864, told the tale of a battle on the outskirts of
Petersburg, Va. Engelhard was elected secretary of state for North Carolina in 1 876.
RAM MASCOT
Since Carolina's nickname is Tar Heels, it might seem strange to have a ram as a
mascot. It is. But, there is a good explanation. It's offered by Vic Huggins, Carolina's
head cheerleader back in 1924.
"In 1 924 school spirit was at a peak," Huggins once explained. "But something
seemed to be missing. One day it hit me. Georgia had a bulldog for a mascot and
State a wolf. What Carolina needed was a symbol."
Two years earlier the Tar Heels had posted a brilliant 9-1 record. The star of that
1922 team was a bruising fullback named Jack Merritt. Merritt was nicknamed "the
battering ram" for the way he plunged into lines. It seemed natural to Huggins to link a
mascot with Merritt's nickname.
"Charlie Woollen, the athletic business manager at that time, agreed with the idea
and gave us $25 to purchase a fitting mascot," said Huggins.
Rameses the First was shipped in from Texas, arriving just in time to be introduced
at a pep rally before the VMI game. Complete with a monogram blanket on his back,
Rameses helped make the pep rally one of the school's greatest.
Then the ram was taken to Emerson Field where Carolina was an underdog to a
strong VMI team. But, for three quarters the Tar Heels battled the visitors to a scoreless
tie.
Late in the fourth period Carolina's Bunn Hackney was called upon to attempt a field
goal. Before taking the field he stopped to
rub Rameses' head for good luck.
Seconds later Hackney's 30-yard drop-
kick sailed between the goalposts, giving
the Tar Heels a 3-0 victory and a legend-
ary mascot.
OLD WELL WALK
On game days, the North Carolina
football team travels from the team hotel
and is dropped off in the center of campus
at the Old Well, one of the University's
most recognized landmarks From there,
the Tar Heels walk from the Old Well
through the main quad of campus and into
the Kenan Football Center. The Old Well
Walk, which began in 2001 , is packed
each Saturday with thousands of cheering
fans, hoping to catch a glimpse of their
favorite player or coach. The Old Well
Walk begins approximately two and a half
hours prior to kickoff of each game.

SCHOOL COLORS
The adoption of light blue and white as UNC's colors dates back to the 19th
Century. When the University reopened following the Civil War, most social activities
were directed by two literary societies, the Dialectic and Philanthropic. The official color
of the Di was light blue and that of the Phi white.
On public occasions the student officers, marshals and ball managers were chosen
equally from the membership of the two societies. It had long been the custom of each
society for its members to wear its color on such occasions. However, the chief marshal
and chief ball manager, one from the Di and the other from the Phi, wore combination
light blue and white regalias and rosettes signifying that they represented the whole
student body.
So it seemed only natural for the fans to adorn themselves with the same combina-
tion as that used by the chief marshals
and ball managers, colors which repre-
sented not membership in a society, but a
University student body.
