2010 PREVIEW - NOTEBOOK

.^fl

2010 Preview

Following back-toback eight
win seasons, North Carolina
has higher goals in 2010 as it
welcomes back 39 lettermen and
an ACC-high 21 starters. The
Tar Heels return 1 0 starters on
offense, nine starters on defense
and both their place-kicker and
punter.

Carolina has made consecu-
tive bowl trips for the first time
since the late 1 990s and will look
to continue that streak when they
start the season vs. LSU in the
Chick-fil-A Kickoff in Atlanta.

"We must become a more bal-
anced football team," says Butch
Davis, who heads into his fourth
season as UNC's head coach.
"We can not rely solely on our
defense to win games. We have
an experienced team on both
sides of the ball and we have
a great opportunity this year to
continue to build the program.
We are excited about playing
LSU in the season opener and our
schedule is extremely challeng-
ing."

The best news this offseason came in January
when six Carolina juniors who were considering
entering the NFL Draft decided to return for their
senior season. Those players included defensive
standouts Marvin Austin, Kendric Burney, Bruce
Carter, Quan Sturdivant and Deunta Williams.
Add in second-team All-America defensive end
Robert Quinn and the Tar Heels hope to repeat as
the ACC's best defense. They finished sixth in the
nation last year, allowing just 269 yards per game.
However, Carolina must replace defensive tackle
Cam Thomas and defensive end E.J. Wilson, both
of whom were selected in the 2010 NFL Draft. Ju-
niors Tydreke Powell (DT) and Quinton Copies (DE)
are expected to step into those positions, but will
face competition from a host of players, including
junior DE Michael McAdoo, who had four sacks
and an interception in the Spring Game.

Despite losing just one starter on offense,
Carolina will look to reconfigure its offense live.
Jonathan Cooper, who started nine games last
year at guard, will move to center, opening a spot
for Travis Bond at guard. Bond impressed the
coaching staff last year in his
first career start vs. Pittsburgh
in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Senior Alan Pelc, a 1 3-game
starter a year ago, is an all-
conference candidate at the
other guard position. Mike
Ingersoll started 1 2 games in
2009 and will return at right
tackle. Junior Carl Gaskins
and freshman James Hurst
will compete for the left tackle
spot. Gaskins was expected
to challenge for a starting role
last year before tearing his ACL
in preseason practice. Hurst
enrolled at Carolina in January
after a standout high school
career.

Three-year starter T.J. Yates

_jd! *&>»

North Carolina led the ACC and ranked No. 6 in the country in total defense a year ago.

Nine starters, including defensive end Robert Quinn (42) and linebackers Bruce Carter (54)

and Kevin Reddick (48) return in 2010.

returns as the starting quarterback, along with
tailbacks Shaun Draughn (nine starts) and Ryan
Houston (four starts). Highly touted redshirt fresh-
man Bryn Renner opens the season as the No. 2
quarterback.

The Tar Heels return 1 5 of the 1 6 players who
caught at least one pass last year, including lead-
ing receiver Greg Little (62 catches for 724 yards,
5 TDs). Sophomores Erik Highsmith and Jheranie
Boyd should only improve after earning playing
time as true freshmen.

Carolina plays an ACC-high
eight teams that finished 2009
with nine or more wins and eight
of the Tar Heels' 1 2 opponents
played in a bowl game last
season. Based on opponents'
combined winning percentage,
Carolina (97-60; .618) will
face the league's most difficult
schedule in 2010, ahead of
Virginia Tech (95-59; .61 7),
Miami (92-61, .601 ), NC State
(91-64; .587), Georgia Tech (87-
64; .576), Florida State (86-66;
.566), Virginia (82-73; .529),
Maryland (79-72; .523), Wake
Forest (77-76; .503), Clemson
(72-79; .477) and Boston Col-
lege (68-80; .460).

Coaching Staff Continuity

For the first time since Carl
Torbush's first two years as UNC's
head coach (1998-99), Caro-
lina's coaching staff is completely
intact in back-toback seasons.
All nine assistants, plus strength
and conditioning coordinator Jeff
Connors, will return for the 2010 season.

"It's important to have continuity on your staff to
build relationships not only with the current players
but with the high school coaches and future re-
cruits," said Davis. "I'm pleased to have our entire
staff intact this year."

will be built in Kenan Stadium's east end zone to
house the academic support center for student-ath-
letes, the Carolina Leadership Academy, Olympic
sports' strength and conditioning center, visiting
locker room, club seats and individual suites.

Construction began immediately on the project
that is expected to take roughly 1 5 months to
complete in time for the start of the 201 1 football
season. The Center for Excellence will replace the
Kenan Fieldhouse, which was built in 1927.

Sales of club seats and individual suites began
in October 2009. Those sales will provide ap-
proximately 50 percent of the funding of the $70
million project. Private donations will fund the rest
of the project. The athletic department will not use
state funds.

"The Carolina Student-Athlete Center for Excel-
lence will help us provide exceptional academic
support to our nearly 800 student-athletes," says
Director of Athletics Dick Baddour. "It also cre-
ates a new source of revenue that over the next
30 years will help us maintain the broad-based,
28-sport program we have long enjoyed."

Potential NFL Draftees Return For Senior Season

Six North Carolina juniors explored the possi-
bility of going pro after the bowl game last season,
but all six elected to return for the 201 0 season,
including DT Marvin Austin, LB Bruce Carter, LB
Quan Sturdivant, CB Kendric Burney, S Deunta
Williams and WR Greg Little. Sturdivant, Burney
and Williams were 2009 first-team All-ACC selec-
tions and Austin and Carter were second-team
picks. Little became just the fifth player in UNC
history to post more than 60 receptions.

Austin, Carter and Sturdivant all have been
listed as the No. 1 NFL draft prospects at their
respective positions by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. In
its rankings of 201 1 NFL prospects, CollegeFoot-
ballNews.com has Austin listed as the No. 1
defensive tackle, Sturdivant as the No. 2 inside
linebacker, Carter as the No. 1 outside linebacker,
Williams as the No. 1 free safety, Burney as the

In Butch Davis' three seasons at UNC, the Tar
Heels have won 20 games (4-8 in 2007, 8-5 in
2008, 8-5 in 2009), which is one more than they
won in the five years (2002-06) prior to his arrival
Among the evidence that Carolina football has
improved its profile since his arrival:

• Season ticket sales have increased

• Carolina played its first Thursday Night FSPN
football game in 2009

• Carolina's 201 0 Spring Game was broadcast
nationally on FSPN and drew a school-record
29,500.

• Carolina has produced first-round NFL Draft
picks (Kentwan Balmer by the San Francisco 49ers
in 2008 and Hakeem Nicks by the New York Gi-
ants in 2009) under Davis.

• Carolina advanced to bark to-back bowl
games for the first time since going to seven
straight from 1992-98.

• Carolina will play in the prestigious Chick-
fil-A Kickoff Game vs. LSU in the 2010 season
opener

• Three of Davis' four UNC recruiting classes
have been ranked in the Top 25 by a majority of
recruiting analysts.

The Mighty Quinn

Junior defensive end Robert Quinn was diag-
nosed with a brain tumor during his senior season
at Ft. Dorchester High School (S.C.). Fortunately,
his tumor was benign, but still required emergency
surgery. He was told by a hospital nurse that he
would never play football again. Quinn not only
recovered, but he came back earlier that expected
and won a third straight heavyweight wrestling
state high school championship.

At the same time of his recruitment, North Caro-
lina head coach Butch Davis had been dealing
with his own cancer treatments (non-Hodgskin's
lymphoma) and promised Robert a scholarship
would be waiting at Carolina no matter what hap-
pened. On signing day in 2007, Quinn signed
with the Tar Heels and started 1 2 games as a
freshman. As a sophomore last season, he led the
ACC in tackles for losses and was second in sacks
and forced fumbles. He was named first team
All-ACC and was a second-team All-America by
CBSsports com.

Bruce Carter in the Weight Room

Senior linebacker Bruce Carter is one of the
most talented players on the field, but has also
proved himself in the weight room. In the most
recent testing, Carter had the following measur
ables: Bench Press 440; Power Clean 374 (UNC
linebacker record); Back Squat 605; Veritcal Jump
40.5 (UNC linebacker record); Broad Jump 10.6
(Broad Jump); 40-Yard Dash (4.39); 20- Yard
Shuttle (4. 19).

Carter finished third on the team last year with
65 tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and 2.0
sacks. He was selected second-team All-ACC.

This summer, Carter was named by ESPN.com
as the nation's top "workout warrior".

2010 PREVIEW - NOTE

Position-By-Position Previews

Offensive Line: Injuries and attrition last season
occasionally forced the Tar Heels to play with three
freshmen on the offensive line, including nine-
game starter Jonathan Cooper, tackle Brennan
Williams and guard Travis Bond. Those three
players gained a tremendous amount of experi-
ence and all should battle for a starting spot this
year along with returnees Mike Ingersoll (1 2 starts)
and Carl Gaskins at tackle and Alan Pelc (1 3
starts) and Greg Elleby at guard. Redshirt fresh-
man David Collins, who had a foot injury last year,
will compete for playing time along with January
enrollees James Hurst and T.J. Leifheit. Leifheit
missing most of the spring after undergoing ankle
surgery. Pelc missed all of spring practice while
recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but is
healthy entering fall camp. Gaskins tore his ACL
last fall, but should be completely healthy heading
into fall camp.

Returnees: OG Travis Bond, OG David Collins,
OG/C Jonathan Cooper, OG Greg Elleby, OT
Carl Gaskins, C Cam Holland, OT Mike Ingersoll,
OG Alan Pelc; OT Brennan Williams - (returning
starters in italic)

Losses: LT Kyle Jolly, C Lowell Dyer

Newcomers: OL Nick Appel, OL
Russell Bodine, OT James Hurst, OT T.J
Leifheit

Sure-handed senior tight end Zack Pianalto had 33
receptions last season in just nine games.

♦ ♦♦♦♦

Wide Receivers: Every Carolina
receiver or tight end who caught at least
one pass returns in 2010, including
versatile performer Greg Little (1,1 12
all-purpose yards), speedy Jheranie
Boyd (four TDs) and reliable Erik High-
smith (37 receptions). Little, a senior
from Durham, N.C., became just the
fifth player in UNC history to post 60
or more receptions in a single season.
Boyd also proved to be a valuable
weapon as a runner averaging 10.8
yards on 20 attempts. Highsmith's 37
receptions were just one reception shy of
Hakeem Nicks' single-season freshman
record of 38. Behind that trio, Carolina
returns several promising players includ-
ing Dwight Jones, Todd Harrelson and
Joshua Adams. Adams started the first
two games last season before a shoulder
injury ended his season. He received a
medical redshirt and enters 2010 with
four years of eligibility remaining.

Tight Ends/H-Backs: North Carolina
is 1 3-5 over the last two seasons when
Zack Pianalto plays. He is a favorite
target for T.J. Yates, especially on third
down, and last season, he set the UNC
single-season record for receptions (33)

by a tight end despite missing four games with
an foot injury. He enters the spring healthy and
should contend for all-conference honors in 2010.
NFL draft analysts have him among the top five
tight ends in the country. Joining Pianalto at tight
end is senior Ed Barham, who is noted for his
blocking ability, but caught six passes a year ago,
including a touchdown vs. Florida State. After
sitting out last season as a transfer from Mississippi
State, Nelson Hurst will be eligible this year. At the
h-back position, senior Ryan Taylor, who missed
all of last year with a knee injury, returns for his
fifth year. Taylor is a tough player who also will
improve Carolina's special teams coverage. Junior
Christian Wilson saw action in seven games last
season and recorded five catches for 30 yards.
January enrollee Sean Fitzpatrick gives the Tar
Heels much needed depth.

Running Backs/Quarterbacks: Shaun
Draughn started nine games last season
until a shoulder blade injury sidelined
him for the final four games. His injury
allowed Ryan Houston to showcase his
ability as the full-time starting tailback.
Draughn and Houston combined for 1 ,280
yards on 31 5 carries, an average of 98.5
yards per game. Houston had his most
productive game against Duke, carrying
37 times for 1 64 yards. Senior Anthony
Elzy is a versatile player and is a receiving
threat at either fullback or tailback. Devon
Ramsay played his way into the starting
fullback role last year and continues to
improve. Johnny White was a standout
on special teams with 1 6 tackles and led
the team in kickoff returns. A.J. Blue, a
versatile running back who can also play
quarterback, tore knee ligaments in last
year's game vs. Georgia Southern and
missed spring practice. He will be limited
in the fall as he continues to recover.

At quarterback, T.J. Yates enters the
spring as a three-year starter. Yates is
second in the UNC record book in career
passing yards, attempts and comple-
tions. Highly touted redshirt freshman
Bryn Renner enters the spring No. 2 on
the depth chart. Sophomore signal caller
Braden Hanson played in three games last
year.

2010 PREVIEW - NOTEBOOK

Greg Little hauled in 62 receptions last year and should contend for all-conference honors in 2010.

Defensive Line: Carolina's only two losses on
the starting defense came along the defensive line
with the graduation of tackle Cam Thomas and
end E.J. Wilson. Fortunately, the Tar Heels have
two standout defensive linemen returning, includ-
ing ACC Defensive Player of the Year candidates
Robert Quinn at end and Marvin Austin at tackle.
Quinn earned first-team All-ACC honors after
leading the ACC in tackles for losses and finish-
ing second in sacks. Austin was a second-team
honoree after posting 42 tackles and four sacks.
They will be joined on the line by juniors Tydreke
Powell at tackle and Quinton Copies at end. Pow-
ell is best remembered for stripping the ball from
Virginia Tech's Ryan Williams to set up Carolina's
game-winning field goal. Copies was superb as a
pass rush specialist with five sacks. Junior Michael
McAdoo and sophomore Donte Paige-Moss pro-
vide exceptional depth at end, while junior Jordan
Nix and redshirt freshman Jared McAdoo compete
for playing time at tackle. Former linebacker Lin-
wan Euwell moved to defensive end in the spring.

Linebackers: Carolina welcomes back two of
the nation's top rated linebackers in Bruce Carter
and Quan Sturdivant for their senior seasons. Add
in promising sophomore Kevin Reddick and the
Tar Heels have one of the best starting linebacker
combinations in the country. Sturdivant played
both middle and outside linebacker last year and
led the team with 79 tackles. Carter played on the
other side of Sturdivant and had 65 tackles. Red-
dick assumed the starting middle linebacker role
at the midpoint of the season and responded with
45 tackles, including 5.5 for losses. Junior Zach
Brown is one of the fastest Tar Heels on the team
and has competed in the offseason with the UNC
track team. He started six games last year and
had 47 tackles. Several other players are waiting
in the wings, including juniors Herman Davidson
and Ebele Okakpu, and sophomores Dion Guy
and Shane Mularkey.

♦♦♦♦♦

Defensive Backs: All four starters return in
2010, including first-team All-ACC performers
and Thorpe Award nominees Kendric Burney and
Deunta Williams. Burney and Williams combined
for 31 4 of Carolina's school-record 508 intercep-
tion return yards last year. UNC's defensive backs
picked off 1 7 passes a year ago with each starter
registering at least one. Williams ranks third at
UNC with 1 2 career interceptions, while Burney
has nine. Senior Charles Brown is a talented cover
man who finished second on the team last year
with 66 tackles. Senior safety Da'Norris Searcy
is a hard-hitting, aggressive defender who also
returned kicks in 2009. He has improved every
season and could contend for all-conference
honors. Safety Matt Merletti is returning from an
ACL injury suffered last preseason and should help
Carolina's special teams as well. Cornerbacks
Mywan Jackson and Gene Robinson gained valu-
able playing experience last year as true freshmen
and had good spring performances. The Tar Heels
have several promising young players, including
redshirt freshmen Curtis Campbell, Josh Hunter
and Terry Shankle.

Specialists: Casey Barth led the ACC with 21
field goals in 2009, tying the single-season school
record, and earned second-team All-ACC honors.
Barth made 1 6 field goals in a row at one point
during the season and made 34 of 35 PATs. He
enters the season as a candidate for the Lou Groza
Award, presented annually to the nation's top
kicker. Punter Grant Schallock returns as the start-
ing punter, but will face competition from redshirt
freshman C.J. Feagles. Last season, Schallock
averaged 40.3 yards, but needs to become more
consistent. Deep snapper Trevor Stuart returns
from last year's ACL injury to compete with walk-
on Mark House for the starting role.

HEAD COACH

FOURTH SEASON AT UNC

36TH SEASON OVERALL

Entering his fourth season at North Carolina, head coach
Butch Davis has brought energy and enthusiasm back to the Tar
Heel football program with his ability to motivate, teach and
recruit at the highest level. A man with a proven record of suc-
cess and an unyielding commitment to excellence, Davis has a
clear vision for building a championship program in Chapel Hil!
based on integrity, character and honor.

In three seasons at North Carolina, Davis has led the Tar
Heels to back-to-back bowl games for the first time in more
than a decade and produced 16 wins over the past two years -
the most since consecutive double-digit wins in 1996-97. 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.
1 3, 2006, Davis quickly rejuvenated the fan bas<
and brought excitement to every Saturday at
Kenan Stadium. Beginning with his first Caro-
lina recruiting class in 2007, which many an
lysts 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.

Davis, who guided Miami out of
NCAA probation and into the upper echelon
of college football in the late 1990s, has like-

wise turned
around the UNC
program. Carolina
improved from 4-8 in
2007 to 8-5 in 2008,
which was the sixth-
best turnaround in the
country. A second con-
secutive eight-win season
in 2009 gives the Tar Heels
20 vvins under Davis, which
is one more than they won in the
five years (2002-06) prior to his arrival.

Davis also emphasizes the importance of
academics. His teams have been recognized by
the American Football Coaches Association for
outstanding graduation rates in each of his nine sea-
sons as a head coach, including six at Miami and three
at UNC.

No stranger to success, Davis has coached in 1 3
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 cham-
pionship team. He also won two Super Bowls as
an assistant coach with the Dallas Cowboys. An
excellent motivator and technician, Davis recruited
or coached a number of players at Miami who were

selected in the NFL Draft, including an amazing 28 first-round
picks in six seasons. Since his arrival in Chapel Hill, Davis has
produced two first-round draft picks in defensive tackle Kent-
wan Balmer and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks.

Prior to his arrival in Chapel Hill, Davis served as an ana-
lyst on the NFL Network for two seasons. There he was able to
watch and study the latest college football offensive and defen-
sive 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.

Carolina fans have certainly responded to his style of foot-
ball. Just this past spring, Carolina attracted a school-record
crowd of 29,500 to the Blue-White Spring Game, which was
broadcast nationally on ESPN. Since 2007, Carolina has sold
out nearly every home game, increased average attendance by
more than 15 percent and has sold more than 35,000 season tick-
ets per season, including a school-record 36,250 in 2008.

Davis' third Carolina team used a dynamic defense and
an opportunistic offense to go 8-5 overall, 4-4 in the ACC and
advance to a second consecutive Meineke Bowl in Char-
lotte. The Tar Heels' defense led the ACC and ranked
sixth in the country in yards allowed. Carolina
hosted its first-ever ESPN Thursday night game
vs. Florida State and a week later knocked off
No. 14 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg on Thursday
night. Carolina also scored impressive wins over
East Carolina, Connecticut, Duke, Miami and
Boston College to post a second straight winning
season. Of the Tar Heels' five losses, three were
by a combined total of just six points. Carolina
placed nine players on the All-ACC teams,
including four first-team selections,
which was the most since 1997.

Carolina began to show evi-
dence of improvement when it
posted the nation's sixth-best
turnaround from 2007 (4-8)
to 2008 (8-5). The Tar
Heels won games over
bowl teams Rutgers.
Miami, Connecticut,
Notre Dame, Boston
College and Georgia
Tech and were in the
hunt for the 2008
ACC championship
until the final week
of the season. The
Tar Heels earned
an invitation to
the Meineke
Car Care Bowl
in Charlotte,
its first
postseason
game since
2004, and
sold more
than 22,000
tickets
(10.000
more than its
otment) in
just one week
of sales. An
estimated
40,000 Caro-
lina fans were
in attendance.

No stranger to success, Davis has coached
in 13 postseason bowl games as an assis-
tant or head coach, including two apiece in
the Fiesta, Orange and Sugar Bowls, and
he either recruited or coached nearly all
the players from Miami's 2001 national
championship team. He also won two
Super Bowls as an assistant coach with
the Dallas Cowboys. As a head coach, Da-
vis has recruited or coached an amazing
30 first-round NFL Draft picks.

building a program to compete at the highest level for a national
championship," says Davis, 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 held, but are also accomplished in the classroom,
the weight room and other areas off the Held. We are climbing the
mountain."

Davis' first season in Chapel Hill was highlighted by an impres-
sive 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 individuals 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. In 2008, 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 assistant coaches, I would not be where I am today."

Carolina had an ACC-best five players picked in the 2009 NFL Draft, includ-
ing Nicks, second-round pick Richard Quinn, third-rounder Brandon Tate and
fifth-round picks Garrett Reynolds and Brooks Foster. Over the last three years,
the Tar Heels have had nine players drafted and several others have signed as free
agents, including Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting kicker Connor Barth.

But statistics and draft choices don't reveal the full story. Davis has hired
an outstanding staff of assistant coaches, brought in four consecutive 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
and student-athlete experience and provide a source of revenue for the athletic
department. The first phase of the Kenan Stadium Master plan was completed in
time for the 2009 football season. A fifth floor was added to the Kenan Football
Center, which contains additional space for the day-to-day operations of the
football program, four gameday gathering areas, a larger video and studio facility
and a state-of-the-art press conference area. The second floor was completely
renovated for increased football meeting spaces, including bigger individual
position meeting rooms and a larger team meeting room. Fourth floor renovations
included additional office space for football support staff. The first floor players'
locker room was also completely renovated.

In May, 2010, UNC's Board of Trustees approved the the Carolina Student-
Athlete Center for Excellence, a five-story privately financed structure that will be
built in Kenan Stadium's east end zone to house the academic support center for
student-athletes, the Carolina Leadership Academy, Olympic sports' strength and

conditioning center, visiting locker room, club seats and individual suites.

Davis was head coach for six seasons at Miami ( 1995-2000) and led the
Hurricanes to a 51-20 record, three Big East Conference championships and four
postseason bowl wins in as many appearances. He took over a Miami program
faced with NCAA sanctions that restricted the number of scholarships in his first
three seasons. However, his Hurricane teams finished ranked in the Associated
Press Top 25 on four occasions, including No. 2 in the nation in 2000. when the
Canes went 11-1 and beat Florida. 37-20. in the Sugar Bowl.

In his first year in Coral Gables. Davis helped the Canes earn a share of the
Big East Conference Championship by winning seven straight games to close the
'95 season. The team would have received an invitation to a BCS bowl game,
however, Miami declined the invitation due to NCAA sanctions previously ap-
proved by university officials for violations prior to Davis' arrival.

Davis again led Miami to a share of the Big East title in 1996 and catapulted
the Hurricanes to a top 20 ranking 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' 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, in-
cluding a 37-20 victory over Florida in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. That team was
second in the nation in scoring, fifth in total offense, fifth in scoring defense and
eighth in pass defense.

Davis also emphasizes the importance of academics, and his Hurricanes
earned recognition from the American Football Coaches Association for outstand-
ing 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 Cleveland in 200 1 , 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, includ-
ing 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 play-
ers 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 assistant
with the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-94 and was defensive coordinator in 1993
and 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 spectacular turnarounds in sports history as the Cowboys went from
a lowly 1-15 squad in 1989 to one of the most dominant NFL programs in the
1990s. He was the defensive line coach in the Cowboys' 52-1 7 win over Buffalo
in Super Bowl XXVII and served as 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 coordinator a year later,
the Cowboys set a team record by allowing just 21 touchdowns in 16 regular-
season games and allowed one offensive touchdown or less in 12 of 16 games.

Davis was also defensive coordinator during Barry Switzer's first season as
head coach in 1994 and helped Dallas reach the NFC Championship Game, where
eventual Super Bowl champion San Francisco denied its bid for a three-peat. Da-
vis'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 Woodson. 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 Hurricanes 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 went on to play in the
NFL, including All-Americas Bill Hawkins, Cortez Kennedy, Russell Maryland.
Daniel Stubbs and the late Jerome Brown. Davis' line was a key part of the
Miami defense that finished second in the nation in both scoring defense (9.7
points per game) and total defense (242.0 yards per game) in 1988. The 1986
Hurricanes set a school record with 49 sacks, broke the mark with 50 in 1988 and
held opposing rushers to fewer than 2.3 yards per carry in 1987 and 1988.

Davis entered the collegiate coaching ranks on the offensive side of the ball
as an assistant on Johnson's Oklahoma State University teams from 1979-83. At
Oklahoma State, Davis coached receivers and tight ends while also serving as
recruiting coordinator.

Davis played college football at the University of Arkansas for coach Frank
Broyles, but his career was cut short due to a knee injury. He earned a bachelor's
degree in biology and life science in 1974. His coaching career began as a vol-
unteer assistant in 1973 at Fayetteville High School in Arkansas. He had stints in
Oklahoma at Pawhuska High School (1974-75) and Sand Springs High School
(1976-77) as an assistant coach and at Tulsa Rogers High School ( 1978) in his
first head coaching assignment before joining Johnson's staff at Oklahoma State.

Paul Hilton (Butch) Davis is a native of Tahlequah. Okla. Davis and his
wife, Tammy, have a teenage son, Drew.

The Davis Family is heavily involved in the Chapel Hill and surrounding
communities. Since moving to Chapel Hill in 2006, the Davis's have pledged
their time and financial support to many organizations. They include, but are
not limited to: Night of Champions, Flashes of Hope, Lineberger Cancer Center,
UNC Children's Hospital, SECU Family House, Athletes in Action, Fellowship
of Christian Athletes. Habitat for Humanity, Carolina Kids, Multiple Sclerosis,
Crosby Scholars and Informed Families.

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.

Over the past three seasons in Chapel Hill.
Blake has tutored a number of highly skilled
defensive linemen, including 2009 first-team
All-ACC selection Robert Quinn at defensive
end and second-team pick Marvin Austin at
defensive tackle. Quinn ( 19 tackles for losses,
1 1 sacks) and Austin both return in 2010 and are
considered among the top five talents in the coun-
try at their respective positions.

Last season, Blake's defensive line dominated the point of
attack and Carolina finished sixth in the nation in tackles for
losses. No. 6 in total defense and No. 10 against the run. De-
fensive end E.J. Wilson and defensive tackle Cam Thomas were
selected in the 2010 NFL Draft as Blake continued a history of
developing professional talent.

In three seasons at UNC. Blake has sent five defensive line-
men to the NFL, including 2008 first-round draft pick Kentwan
Balmer. 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 defen-
sive line coaches at any level," said ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.

In addition to his abilities as a defensive line coach, Blake is
considered by many observers as the nation's top recruiter. In
three of the last four years, at least one recruiting publication has
named Blake the nation's top recruiter. Three different Sport-
ing 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
Quarterly in 2007.

Blake was responsible for the recruitment of Austin, the
nation's No. 1 high school defensive player in 2007, and Caro-
lina's signing classes have ranked among the best in the country
every season.

Blake came to Carolina
after serving three seasons
at the University of Ne-
braska, where he coached
or recruited several
outstanding defensive
linemen, including 2007
NFL first-round draft
pick Adam Carriker (13th
overall), 2007 third-round
draft pick Jay Moore and
2010 NFL first-round se-
lection Ndamukong Suh.
The Huskers defensive
line was ranked the top
defensive line unit in the
country by CoIlegeFoot-
ballNews.com in 2006.

Davis and Blake previ-
ously worked together
as members of Jimmy
Johnson's staff with the

The Blake Family: Jourdan, Freda & John

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, III., Blake played for Switzer at Okla-
homa 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 and earned a national champion-
ship ring that season. The Sooners lost just two games during his
first tenure on the staff.

Blake's first full-time assistant position was at Tulsa from
1987-88, where he coached the tight ends and wide receivers.
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 tenure. Among
others, Blake tutored Pro Bowlers Charles Haley, Russell Mary-
land. 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. Freda, have
one son, Jourdan.

just the fifth UNC player to record more than
60 receptions in a single-season when he
hauled in 62 for 724 yards and five touch-
downs in 2009. Erik Highsmith was named

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 2001 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, Williams 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 recep-
tions 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 Hurricanes in receiving both years 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.

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

SECONDARY COACH
THIRD SEASON AT UNC

Charlotte, N.C, native Everett Withers enters
his third season as North Carolina's defensive
coordinator and secondary coach. Withers is in
his 23rd season as a coach and has experience at
both the professional and college level.

A year ago, the Tar Heels' defense was
among the nation's elite, ranking sixth in total
defense. 10th against the run, 13th in scoring de-
fense and 14th in pass defense. Carolina was the
only school in the country ranked in the top 15 in
total yards allowed, scoring defense, run defense,
pass defense, pass efficiency defense, third-down
defense and tackles for losses. Six Carolina
defenders were named all-conference, including
tirst-team picks Robert Quinn. Quail Sturdivant.
Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams.

In addition to his duties as the coordinator.
Withers oversees the defensive secondary, which
has developed into one of the best units in the country. Carolina
picked off 19 passes in 2009 and has 39 interceptions over the
past two seasons. Last year, Carolina set a single-season ACC
record with 508 interception return yards.

In 2008. the opportunistic Tar Heel defense ranked eighth
in the country with 20 interceptions, just one shy of the school
record.

Withers came to North Carolina after serving one season as
the University of Minnesota's defensive coordinator in 2007.

Withers spent six seasons with the Tennessee Titans from
200 1 -06 under head coach Jeff Fisher. From 2002-04, Withers

The Withers Family: Everett, Tia, Pierce and Kara

helped the Titans defense tally 57 interceptions, which was the
most for the franchise over a three-year period since 1993-95.
The 57 interceptions 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 interceptions 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. Withers was de-
fensive backs coach under Mack Brown at Texas from
1998-2000. where he guided a Longhoms 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 number of statistical
categories.

Withers joined the Longhorns after three seasons
( 1995-97) as defensive coordinator at Louisville. His
1996 defensive unit ranked fourth nationally in both total
defense (235.8) and rushing defense (81.1) and led the
NCAA in forced turnovers (41). While at Louisville. With-
| ers 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 his experi-
ence with the Saints, Withers was defensive backs coach
at Southern Mississippi for two seasons (1992-93) and
outside linebackers coach at Tulane in 1991 . The first three
years of Withers' coaching career came at Austin Peay.
where he was defensive coordinator ( 1988-89) and special
ams/wide receivers coach (1990).
Withers earned his bachelor's degree from Appalachian
State in 1985. He was also a standout defensive back and
captain for the Mountaineers from 1981-85. Withers and
wife. Kara, have two children, Tia and Pierce.

among ACC schools 10 times in Baddour's 13 years at the helm.

The seventh-place finish in the Directors Cup marked the eighth top 10 finish
by the Tar Heels in the last nine years, including top four showings in 2006, 2007
and 2009. By comparison, the other 1 1 ACC schools have combined for eight top
10 finishes in the 17-year history of the Directors Cup.

Academically, 23 of Carolina's sports exceeded the national average in the
NCAA's Academic Progress Rating. Six programs scored a perfect 1 ,000 in the
APR over the last four years and 1 3 scored a perfect 1 ,000 in 2008-09. The APR
accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each
team's academic performance.

Carolina baseball, men's basketball, men's and women's swimming and div-
ing, women's fencing, women's golf, gymnastics and volleyball rank in the Top
10 percent nationally in their respective sports. Men's basketball, men's and
women's swimming and diving, women's golf and volleyball had the highest
APRs in the Atlantic Coast Conference in their respective sports for the four-year
period from 2005-06 to 2008-09.

Baddour emphasizes academic achievement and
the overall student experience. Last year, 266 student-
athletes made the ACC Academic Honor Roll. 277
earned Dean's List honors over the two semesters and
eight different programs finished the spring with a cu-
mulative grade point average of better than 3.0.
The 2008-09 season was one of the finest in
Carolina history as the Tar Heels finished second
nationally in the Learfield Directors Cup. Women's
soccer and men's basketball won NCAA champion-
ships, men's soccer and women's lacrosse reached
the NCAA finals, baseball advanced to the College
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
football bowl game in the same year.

Six years ago, Baddour created the Carolina
Leadership Academy, a training program for student-
athletes, coaches and administrators. The program
develops leadership skills through interactive work-
shops, 360-degree feedback, one-on-one coaching,
peer mentoring and educational resources. Carolina's
coaches consider the program an overwhelming suc-
cess and it is a model for schools across the nation.

Baddour has hired head coaches in 1 1 sports,
including Roy Williams, Butch Davis and Mike Fox,
overseen renovations or created plans to update virtu-

ally every facility in the athletic
complex, expanded the direction
and staffing for student-athlete
services and worked tirelessly to
set the program on sound finan-
cial footing.

Baddour has made it a top
priority to ensure the athletic de-
partment stays financially stable.
His efforts to put together a plan
and financial model to renovate
Kenan Stadium have resulted
in phase I being completed by
adding a fifth floor to the Kenan
Football Center and phase II
getting approval from the Board
of Trustees in May 2010. Phase
II includes the Carolina Center
for Student-Athlete Excellence,
a five-story privately financed
structure that will house the
academic support center for
student-athletes, the Carolina Leadership Academy, Olympic sports' strength and
conditioning center, visiting locker room, club seats and individual suites. The
Center for Excellence not only provides much needed space for academic support
for all 28 of Carolina's varsity programs, it also creates an additional revenue
stream through the sale of premium seats that will provide future revenue for the
department.

The athletic department and Rams Club raised nearly $300 million over the
last 10 seasons in support of the Carolina First campaign, increasing the scholar-
ship endowment to where it is the largest for a public school in the country. Bad-
dour developed funding models for facility enhancement projects, scholarships
and operating budgets. He negotiated partnerships with Nike to outfit the athletic
program, with Learfield Communications to direct UNC's multi-media properties,
with Wachovia for on-site sponsorship in the Smith Center and Aramark for con-
cessions. The Nike deal was widely praised as one of the most socially conscious
contracts of its kind with respect to global labor issues.

Baddour has overseen a number of facility enhancements throughout his ten-
ure. Last year, Carmichael Arena re-opened after a $30 million renovation and the
Stallings-Evans Sports Medicine Center, a facility that is open to student-athletes
and the student body at large for sports injury rehabilitation, opened in the spring.
Boshamer Stadium re-opened in 2009 after a $25 million renovation and has been
received as one of the top baseball facilities in the country. The athletic depart-
ment and Rams Club moved into the Ernie Williamson Athletics Center in 2007

and the Carolina Basketball Museum opened its doors
in early 2008.

Baddour began his UNC career in 1967 as assis-
tant 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 admissions and
scholarship programs, head of personnel and supervi-
sor of career planning and placement.

Baddour spent 1 I years as John Swofford'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 Association.

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 Wom-
ble-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, and a
daughter, Lynley.

Carolina students are inspired to tackle

the great problems facing the world.

HOLDEN THORP

CHANCELLOR

A T CAROLINA, Holden Thorp has been an undergraduate student, a chemistry

/-=\ professor, a planetarium director, an inventor and entrepreneur, as well as a dean. He

^ JL, graduated with honors, won teaching awards, led a powerhouse chemistry

department, developed technology for electronic DNA chips, founded spin-off companies,

and succeeded as an administrator.

Now, as the 10th chancellor, Thorp draws from all of those experiences in leading Caro-
lina, which is among the great research universities in the United States and the world.

A North Carolina native, Thorp grew up in Fay-
etteville in a family steeped in Carolina traditions
dating to the 1800s. When graduation from
Terry San ford High School approached, there
was only one school on his college application
list — UNC. He earned a bachelor of science de-
gree with honors in 1986.

Attending a world-class research university —
where research and teaching are done by the same
people — gave Thorp opportunities to work in
chemistry labs with some of UNC's best faculty.
Those experiences inspired him to become a pro-
fessor. He pursued that dream at the California
Institute of Technology, where he earned a doc-
torate in chemistry in 1989, and at Yale Univer-
sity for postgraduate work. After teaching a year
at NC State, he returned to UNC in 1993.

Because he has lived it from both sides of the
classroom, Thorp is passionate about the under-
graduate experience. "Carolina is perfectly suited
to leverage our students' interests in the great prob-
lems facing our world to enhance their academic
success and position them to lead us," he says.

The University's future depends on aspiring to
global academic excellence and serving the needs of
North Carolina's students and people. "We're the
university of both— and: Both academic promi-
nence and a commitment to our state," Thorp says.

Before becoming chancellor in 2008, Thorp
served a year as dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences. He chaired the chemistry department,
led a $17 million fundraising effort for the Caro-
lina Physical Science Complex as faculty director
and was director of the Morehead Planetarium
and Science Center.

Thorp serves on a new U.S. Manufacturing
Competitiveness Initiative for the Council on

member of the Champions' Board of Teach for
America, which aims to end educational inequity
across the nation, as well as the Associations' Pat-
ent Reform Task Force, an advisory body to six
associations representing 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 tech-
nology for electronic DNA chips that led to 19
issued or pending U.S. patents.

Thorp co-authored a new book, "Engines of

the 21st Century," with Buck Goldstein, Univer-
sity Entrepreneur in Residence. The UNC Press

An accomplished musician who plays jazz bass
and keyboard, Thorp is married to Patti Worden

graduate. Their children are John and Emma.

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.

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.

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."

I'M A

W^IBHE.

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 Forever — Planned Giving

As the Rams Club's planned giving program, Carolina Forever of-
fers donors an opportunity to make a lasting impact by involving
Carolina Athletics in their estate planning. Carolina Forever's mission
is to ensure 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.

Alt indicated tickets are
available for purchase.

# If available

IMA TAR HEEL. It's a simple statement — a phrase that can
mean something different for each person who says it. Underlying
it is a thread common to each member of the Carolina Family. That
underlying thread is the commitment each Tar Heel has to do things
the Carolina Way— with great integrity, a dedication to fellow Tar Heels,
an unwavering loyalty to Carolina, and a commitment to excellence.

The Carolina Way also entails a commitment to excellence — a
commitment that is unrivaled elsewhere. It is evident in Carolina's 37
team national championships, 54 individual national championships,
and numerous conference titles. It is evident in the classroom as
Carolina boasts an outstanding 85 percent graduation rate among
student-athletes. It is evident in the community as Tar Heel student-
athletes and staff performed more than 20,000 hours of community
service last year.

The Rams Club shares the commitment to a high level of excellence
that is characteristic of this University. The Rams Club supports
Carolina's broad-based athletics program by offering scholarship and
program support assistance to more than 450 student-athletes in 28
varsity sports each year.

As a Rams Club member, you can enjoy the pride of investing in our
student-athletes and their success. Your renewed membership in The
Rams Club gives our outstanding student-athletes an opportunity to
give their own definition of what it means TO BE A

TAR HEEL.

To come to such a great university with a rich history
and tradition means the world to me. I will always
cherish the amazing times I've had here at Carolina.
I am forever grateful for the opportunity to come to the
best university in the nation. Hove Carolina!
I'm Deunta Williams, and I'm a Tar Heel.

Carolina football plays its home games at Kenan
Memorial Stadium (cap. 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.
For scenery, atmosphere and charm, it cannot be
surpassed.

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 pregame gathering areas, 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.

In May, 2010, the UNC Board of Trustees
approved the Carolina Student-Athlete Center for

Excellence, a Five-story privately financed structure
that will be built in Kenan Stadium's east end zone
to house the academic support center for student-
athletes, the Carolina Leadership Academy, Olympic
sports' strength and conditioning center, visiting
locker room, club seats and individual suites.

Construction has already begun on the project that
is expected to take roughly 15 months to complete
in time for the start of the 201 1 football season. The
additional seats in the end zone, named the Blue
Zone, offers 1 ,836 seats in the Concourse Club/Loge
just a few feet from the field, 824 seats in the Upper
Club/Loge on the fourth floor and 320 seats in 20
suites on the fifth floor. Combined, the project adds
2,980 seats to the stadium's capacity. The project
will also tie the north and south concourses together
and will provide the stadium with 360 degree con-
course to enhance fan movement in the facility.

For more information and photos of the Carolina
Student-Athlete Center for Excellence, please visit
NewKenan.com.

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 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 his-
tory 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 Rams Club and its members com-
mitted more than $50 million to the project.

The football center is named in honor of the late
Frank H. Kenan, one of the school's most generous
benefactors. Kenan was a Durham resident and chief
executive officer of Kenan Transport Company in
Chapel Hill. He passed away at age 83 in 1996.

Kenan, a 1935 Carolina graduate, was the great-
great-grandson of 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 million to schools in the
state's consolidated university system, including
Carolina. NC State and the N.C. School of the Arts.

KENAN STADIUM

«^«

Among other tilings, the trust funds 92 William R.
Kenan Jr. Professorships at 56 colleges and univer-
sities 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 $31 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 $10 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 ami
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
$1 .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 to
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 $1 ,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 fool 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.

TARHEELS

2009 REVIEW

&**'

Tar Heels Post Back-to-Back Eight-
Win Seasons

• North Carolina finished 8-5 for the second
consecutive season. Carolina's 16 wins over the
last two years are the most by a Tar Heel team
since posting 21 victories in 1996 and 1997. Only
Virginia Tech (19). Georgia Tech (19) and Boston
College (17) have had more wins in the ACC over
the last two seasons.

• Carolina advanced to a bowl game for con-
secutive seasons for the first time since 1997-1998.

Success Against Ranked Teams

• Dating back to 2008, the Tar Heels had won
five straight against teams ranked the APTop 25
Poll prior to the loss to No. 1 7 Pittsburgh in the
Meineke Car Care Bowl. In 2008, Carolina posted
wins over No. 24 Connecticut. No. 23 Boston Col-
lege and No. 22 Georgia Tech. In 2009, Carolina
knocked off No. 14 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg
on Oct. 29 and defeated No. 12 Miami on Nov. 7.
The 2009 win over Miami is the highest ranked
team Carolina has defeated since a 31-28 win over
No. 4 Miami in 2004.

• The last time Carolina defeated two Top- 1 5
teams in the same season was 2001 when the Tar
Heels knocked off No. 6 Florida State. 41 -9. and
No. 13 Clemson, 38-3. The 2009 season was the
third time in school history Carolina defeated two
top 15 teams in the same season. The others were
1957 and 1979.

Nine Players Earn All-ACC Honors

• Nine North Carolina football players, includ-
ing four first-team defensive selections, were
named to the 2009 All-Atlantic Coast Conference
teams as selected by the Atlantic Coast Sports
Media Association (ACSMA). Defensive end
Robert Quinn, linebacker Quan Sturdivant, corner-
back Kendric Bumey and safety Deunta Williams
earned first-team honors, while linebacker Bruce
Carter, defensive tackle Marvin Austin and place-
kicker Casey Barth were named to the second
team. Tight end Zack Pianalto and offensive tackle
Kyle Jolly were honorable-mention picks.

• Carolina's four first-team selections were the
most by the Tar Heels since placing six on the
1997 all-conference squad. Carolina had not had
four defensive players make first team since 1 997
when five were honored. The 209 season was
the first year since 2002 that the Tar Heels had a
defensive first-team all-conference selection.

• Quinn, a sophomore from Ladson, S.C., had
the second-highest vote total of any defensive
player after finishing the season with 19 tackles for
losses, including 1 1 sacks. Quinn ranked first in
the ACC in tackles for losses, second in sacks and
second in forced fumbles with six. He was the first
defensive end to earn first-team All-ACC honors at
UNC since Julius Peppers in 2001 .

• Sturdivant, a junior from Oakboro. N.C., was
the first Tar Heel linebacker to earn first-team all-
conference honors since Kivuusama Mays in 1997.
For the second straight season, Sturdivant led the
Tar Heels in tackles, finishing with 75. including
12 for loss, which ranked sixth in the conference.

• Williams and Bumey. both juniors from Jack-
sonville, N.C., took two of the four all-conference
defensive backfield spots. Bumey had 48 tackles

and five interceptions for 200 yards and two
touchdowns. He ranks second all-time in the ACC
in interception return yardage and holds the UNC
career record for interception returns for touch-
downs with three. Burney was the first UNC cor-
nerback to earn first-team all-league honors since
Robert Williams and Die' Bly in 1997. Williams
had a team-high six interceptions for 1 14 yards and
finished the regular season with 41 tackles.

• A native of Washington. D.C., Austin had 40
tackles, including six tackles for losses and four
sacks. He was joined on the second-team defensive
squad by Carter, who was second on the team
with 61 tackles, including seven for losses. Barth
became the first kicker at UNC since Jeff Reed in
2000 to earn all-conference honors after making 20
of 24 attempts, including 16 in a row at one point
this season.

• Despite missing four games to a foot injury.
Pianalto was one of the top tight ends in the league
with 31 receptions for 308 yards and a touchdown.
Jolly graded out as the team's top offensive line-
man and had 3 1 knockdown blocks on the season.

• In the last two seasons, Carolina has had 16
all-conference selections, the most in any two-year
period since 1996-97(22).

Carolina Defense Ranked No. 6 In
The Country

• North Carolina was ranked in the top 15 in the
country in all four major defensive categories. The
Tar Heels were No. 6 in total defense (269.6 avg.),
No. 10 in rushing defense (95.6 avg.). 13th in scor-
ing defense (17.1 avg.) and 14th in passing defense
(174.0 avg.). The last time North Carolina fin-
ished ranked in the nation's top 10 in total defense
was 1997, when the Tar Heels were No. 2.

• Carolina's run defense held nine of 12 regular
season opponents under 100 yards on the season.
Duke rushed for just 12 yards, the fewest by

a UNC opponent in 2009 (previous 30 by The
Citadel). It was the fewest since Wake Forest had
minus-two yards in 2000. In the final six games
of the regular season vs. Florida State (43 rushing
yards). Virginia Tech (95), Duke (12), Miami
(116), Boston College (97) and NC State (76).
Carolina held its opponents to 73.2 rushing yards
per game.

• Carolina's defense held eight of its 1 2 regular
season opponents under 270 yards, including five
to fewer than 200 yards.

• The Tar Heels held eight of 1 2 regular season
opponents to 17 points or less this season. Caroli-
na posted a second-half shutout at Boston College
in a 31-13 win. UNC held Duke to just six points
and shut out the Blue Devils in the second half.

A week earlier, Carolina shut out Virginia Tech
in the first half and held the Hokies to 17 points.
Carolina allowed a season-high 24 points twice
this season - in a 24-7 loss at Georgia Tech and a
33-24 win vs. Miami.

• The last time Carolina allowed less than 300
total yards per game was in 1997, when UNC's
defense ranked in the top 10 nationally in all major
statistical categories.

2009 GAME REVIEWS

Carolina 40, The Citadel 6

September 5, 2009

Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - T.J. Yates threw two touch-
down passes in the decisive first half, and No. 21 North
Carolina routed The Citadel 40-6 on Saturday night.

Ryan Houston had touchdown runs of 5 and 3 yards,
and Shaun Draughn rushed for 1 1 8 yards while helping
the Tar Heels roll up 375 yards total offense. They had a
261 -30 advantage on the ground.

Da'Norris Searcy returned a late punt 77 yards for
a touchdown. Yates was 9 of 20 for 1 1 4 yards in three
quarters, with scoring passes of 1 8 yards to Johnny White
and 21 yards to Greg Little for the Tar Heels.

They played their first opener as a ranked team since
they were No. 1 2 in 1 998, and were upset 1 3- 1 0 by
Miami of Ohio. This one was nowhere near that close,
after a second quarter in which North Carolina scored on
four straight possessions.

The halftime stat sheet was all Tar Heels: They led 23-0,
outgained the Bulldogs 204-73, held a 108-16 advantage
in yards rushing and forced four turnovers.

Bart Blanchard was 21 of 37 for 1 1 7 yards for The
Citadel, but threw three first-half interceptions. Two were
picked off by Deunta Williams - including one in the
end zone that thwarted the Bulldogs' best chance for a
touchdown.

At least The Citadel kept things closer than it did its
last time out - a 70-1 9 loss to eventual national champion
Florida in last year's finale. That wasn't much consolation
for a Championship Subdivision team looking to beat one
of the big boys for the first time since 1 992.

This was a punishing all-around effort from the Tar
Heels. They entered coach Butch Davis' third season
hoping to take the next step toward becoming an annual
contender in the Atlantic Coast Conference - but also
looking for a way to replace three receivers taken in the
NFL draft.

Yates capped the Tar Heels' second possession of the
second quarter with his scoring pass to White to make it
10-0, before hooking up with Little shortly before halftime
for the play of the game.

Yates was flushed right but found Little outside the
hash marks. The one-time running back spun around one
defender and shook off three arm tackles while cutting
back across the field for his first receiving touchdown
since 2007.

Carolina 12, Connecticut 10

September 1 2, 2009

Rentschler Field • East Hartford, Conn.

HARTFORD (AP) - No. 1 9 North Carolina won 12-10
at Connecticut after defensive end Robert Ouinn was held
in the end zone with 1 :32 left in the game giving the Tar
Heels a safety.

The Tar Heels (2-0) trailed 10-0 entering the fourth
quarter, when Casey Barth kicked a 22-yard field goal.
Then, T.J. Yates led the team on a 1 3-play drive, and his
2-yard touchdown pass to tight end Zack Pianalto with
2:36 left tied the game at 10. Pianalto hurt his leg jump-
ing up after the score and had to be taken from the field
in an air cast, another bizarre moment from a game that
ended in crazy fashion.

After the safety, UConn recovered the onside kick but
couldn't get into field-goal range, allowing North Caro-
lina to improve to 3-0 against the Huskies. UConn has just
one win in 1 3 games against Top 25 opponents.

UConn's stifling defense held North Carolina scoreless
and with just 1 34 yards of offense through three quarters.
The Huskies seemed poised for an upset after cornerback
Robert McClain batted Yates' pass into the hands of Twyon
Martin at the Tar Heels 26 late in the third quarter.

UConn tailback Jordan Todman dragged several
defenders the final four yards for the score, putting the
Huskies up 10-0.

Yates, who completed 23 of 32 passes for 233 yards
and two interceptions, found his groove in the fourth
quarter. He led the Tar Heels on a 78-yard drive that
ended with Barth 's field goal, and when UNC got the ball
back, he marched 78-yards again, eating up 6:36 before
finding Pianalto in the end zone from 2-yards out.

While the Huskies held North Carolina to just 65
yards in the first half, and pressured Yates all day, North
Carolina's defense held UConn to just 1 96 yards, and
dominated the Huskies in the fourth quarter.

UConn got the ball at the 20 after the tying touchdown,
but a snap over backup quarterback Cody Endres' head
on second down put the ball at the 8-yard line.

Endres scrambled away from the pass rush on third
down, and completed a 1 6-yard pass to Todman that
would have given the Huskies a fourth-and-6. But there
was the flag in the end zone, and the safety that gave
North Carolina the lead.

September 20, 2008

Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - T.J. Yates threw for two
touchdowns while freshman receiver Erik Highsmith had
a big game to help No. 24 North Carolina beat East
Carolina 31-17.

Highsmith had six catches for 1 1 3 yards and a score
for the Tar Heels, who are off to their first 3-0 start since
winning the first eight games in 1 997. His big day
included a pair of key catches to move the chains on
the Tar Heels' clock-draining drive that ended with Ryan
Houston's 5-yard score with 1 :58 left in the game.

Jheranie Boyd also had a juggling 59-yard touchdown
grab for his first collegiate catch, and North Carolina got
a solid all-around effort from its young offense to comple-
ment another strong performance from its defense.

East Carolina ( 1 -2) got a touchdown catch from Jamar
Bryant and a TD run from Dwayne Harris, but finished
with just 247 total yards.

Yates completed 1 9 of 24 passes for 227 yards
while spreading the ball around to several talented but
unproven receivers. Highsmith came up with a 16-yard
touchdown catch for North Carolina's first score, while
fellow rookie Boyd hauled in Yates' deep ball to make it
1 4-7 in the second quarter.

Highsmith was particularly impressive, starting with
a 16-yard catch for North Carolina's first score. But he
made his biggest plays in the fourth quarter after the Pi-
rates had closed to within 24-1 7. First he took a quick out
from T.J. Yates and sprinted 43 yards for first down. Two
plays later, Yates rolled to his left and found Highsmith
again for a 10-yard gain and another first down that
ultimately led to Houston's second score.

In perhaps a good omen, Highsmith became the first
true freshman to crack the 100-yard mark here since
Nicks did it three times in 2006.

The offensive line, which played without injured senior
center Lowell Dyer, also opened up enough running lanes
for Houston and Shaun Draughn. Houston's 1 -yard score
late in the first half put North Carolina ahead for good at
2 1 - 1 4, while Draughn ran 1 9 times for 84 yards.

The Pirates handed Butch Davis his first loss as North
Carolina's coach in 2007 with a last-play field goal in
Greenville. Patrick Pinkney threw for 406 yards and three
touchdowns in that game, but threw for just 1 57 yards
and a touchdown in this one. He got no help from the
rushing attack, either; East Carolina had 55 yards on 30
carries against the Tar Heels' defensive front.

Georgio Tech 24, Carolina 7

September 26, 2008

Bobby Dodd Stadium •

Atlanta, Ga.

ATLANTA (AP) - Josh Nesbitt ran for two touchdowns
and Georgia Tech held the ball for 42 minutes, its highest
total in 1 3 years, to beat No. 22 North Carolina 24-7.

Georgia Tech (3-1 , 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference)
opened in a 4-3 scheme instead of the 4-2-5 it ran last
week. The third linebacker helped; the Yellow Jackets held
North Carolina (3-1 , 0-1 ) to 1 54 yards on only 44 plays.

Georgia Tech held the ball for 42 minutes, 6 seconds-
its best mark since a 1 996 win over Wake Forest.

Jonathan Dwyer ran for 158 yards in his first 100-yard
game of the season. He showed no sign of the shoulder
injury that limited him to five carries for 7 yards against
Miami.

Nesbitt added a career-high 32 carries for 97 yards.
Georgia Tech had 31 7 yards rushing in its spread-option
offense while holding North Carolina to 1 7.

North Carolina's only touchdown came on Yates' 40-
yard pass to Erik Highsmith early in the fourth quarter.

Georgia Tech then put the game away with a 1 7-play,
76-yard touchdown drive, capped by Nesbitt's 1 0-yard
run. The drive lasted 8:15.

Burnett's second interception ended North Carolina's
final drive with 1 ;34 remaining.

Georgia Tech did not commit a turnover. It was a
reversal from last year, when North Carolina won 28-7
in Chapel Hill as the Yellow Jackets were hurt by two lost
fumbles, an interception, two missed field goals and two
failed fourth-down conversions.

Georgia Tech extended its lead after a Tar Heels
turnover. Yates lined up in the shotgun but wasn't looking
for the snap when the ball shot past him. Georgia Tech
defensive end Derrick Morgan recovered the fumble at the
North Carolina 32, setting up Scott Blair's 34-yard field
goal for a 10-0 halftime lead.

The kickers combined to miss three field goals of under
40 yards. North Carolina's Casey Barth was wide right
on a 32-yard attempt. Blair missed tries of 37 yards in the
first quarter and 27 yards in the third quarter.

There was light rain in the second half. Fans were
cautioned of lightning in the area at the start of the fourth
quarter and told they could re-enter the stadium if they
chose to leave. Most fans remained until the rain became
heavy in the final minutes.

2009 GAME REVIEWS

Virginia 16, Carolina 3

October 3, 2008

Kenan Stadium » Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -Mikell Simpson ran for the
game-clinching touchdown in the fourth quarter while
Virginia's defense turned in a dominating performance to
beat North Carolina 16-3 on Saturday.

Robert Randolph kicked three field goals for the
Cavaliers (1-3, 1 -0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who came
out of a bye week with a desperately needed win after
a terrible start to the season. Simpson added 100 yards
rushing, but the Cavs didn't need much offense consider-
ing the way their defense completely locked down on the
Tar Heels (3-2, 0-2).

North Carolina got nothing from its rushing attack,
committed three turnovers and managed just 1 74 total
yards. And when Simpson ran it in from 8 yards out with
5:49 left, Virginia had a two-possession lead that sent
most of the light blue-clad Tar Heel fans bolting for the
Kenan Stadium exits.

The Tar Heels came into the season facing several ques-
tions about their offense and knowing that their defense
would have to carry the load. The defense did its part for
most of the day, with Robert Quinn tallying three sacks
and Virginia managing just 254 total yards. But the of-
fense turned in a bad performance for the second straight
week, failing to reach the end zone against a defense that
was allowing 31 points per game coming in.

It wasn't the kind of performance the Tar Heels
expected from a team that was nationally ranked just
two weeks ago before a 24-7 loss at Georgia Tech. But
for the Cavaliers, it was exactly what they needed after a
tumultuous opening month of the season that had led to
speculation about coach Al Groh's future.

Virginia had lost at home to Championship Subdivision
team William & Mary in the opener, then followed that
with a home loss to TCU. The Cavaliers then scrapped
some of the spread offense they had installed in the
preseason before the Southern Mississippi game and led
by 1 7 points halftime before falling 37-34.

Now the Cavaliers have won 1 0 of 1 2 meetings
against their cross-border rivals, including all three since
Butch Davis took over in Chapel Hill in 2007.

October 10,2008
Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Ryan Houston rushed for
three touchdowns and Quan Sturdivant returned a fumble
49 yards for a score, one of six turnovers forced by North
Carolina during a 42- 1 2 rout of Georgia Southern on
Saturday.

Bruce Carter brought back an interception 41 yards for
a TD and the defense set up two quick scoring drives with
takeaways for North Carolina (4-2).

Houston scored on rushes of 1 , 1 and 7 yards. Shaun
Draughn added a 1 6-yard touchdown run for the Tar
Heels, who held the Eagles to 170 total yards and 75
through the air.

Adam Urbano had a 45-yard TD rush - the longest al-
lowed this season by North Carolina's stingy defense - for
the Eagles (3-3).

The Tar Heels managed only a combined 10 points
in consecutive losses to Georgia Tech and Virginia that
dropped them out of the national rankings and into last
place in the ACC's Coastal Division,

Turned out, a timely visit from another outmanned
Football Championship Subdivision opponent was just
what they needed, building a 42-7 halftime lead - their
highest-scoring first half in nine years.

The Tar Heels' defense, which entered with national
rankings of No. 8 overall and No. 4 against the pass,
spoke openly during game week about feeling the need to
give their struggling offense a jolt. Defensive end Robert
Quinn promising to "put it on our shoulders."

Did they ever. Quinn jarred the ball loose from Lee
Chappie as he passed late in the first quarter. E.J Wilson
returned it to the 1 6 and Draughn scored on the next play
to make it 1 4-0.

Sturdivant pushed the lead to 21 -7 midway through
the second when he ripped the ball out of Urbano's hands
and returned it down the right sideline for his second
career score. Zach Brown's interception moments later
gave the Tar Heels the ball at the 22 and three plays later,
Houston barrelled in from 7 yards out.

Carter then snuffed out the Eagles' next possession with
his second career interception return for a TD.

North Carolina, held to nine first downs in last week's
loss to the previously winless Cavaliers, nearly matched
that on an opening drive that ended with Houston's first
1 -yard plunge. He powered in with 6 seconds before the
break to give the Tar Heels their most points in a first half
since they scored 52 against Duke in 2000.

Florida State 30, Carolina 27

October 18, 2008

Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) • Christian Ponder threw
for 395 yards and three touchdowns to help Florida
State rally from a big second-half deficit and beat North
Carolina 30-27 in the first Thursday night game in UNC
history.

Rod Owens had nine catches for 1 99 yards, including
a 98 yard score, for the Seminoles (3-4, 1 -3 Atlantic
Coast Conference), who trailed 24-6 early in the third
quarter and appeared headed for a fourth straight loss.

Instead, Ponder directed a stunning rally against
the nation's third-ranked total defense, including the
go-ahead 1 8-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Beau
Reliford with 6:20 to play.

The Tar Heels (4-3, 0-3) still had a chance to tie when
they got the ball back with 47 seconds left and no tim-
eouts, but their desperate drive only got to midfield before
Markus White sacked T.J. Yates on the final play.

Florida State finished with 438 total yards, the most
allowed by North Carolina all season. That came despite
the Seminoles generating little on the ground and com-
mitting penalty after penalty to force almost the entire
burden on Ponder, who responded by completing 33 of
40 passes.

The Tar Heels had everything in hand, dominating the
mistake-prone Seminoles through the first half to take a
1 7-6 lead - a margin that could have been even worse
had they not had a holding penalty wipe out an 81 -yard
scoring pass from Yates to Jheranie Boyd.

Yates increased the lead when he rolled left on a
keeper and scored from 1 0 yards out to make it 24-6 with
1 1 : 38 left. The rest of the quarter, however, belonged to
the Seminoles.

Ponder connected with Taiwan Easterling for a 6-yard
touchdown pass to start the comeback. Then, after Yates
threw an interception near the goal line, Ponder lofted the
ball deep down the right sideline for Owens, who evaded
a diving tackle attempt from behind by Charlie Brown
and sprinted to the end zone for the 98-yard score - the
longest play from scrimmage by either side in a North
Carolina game - that made it 24-20 with 4:41 to play in
the third.

Carolina 20, Virginia Tech 17

October 29, 2008
Lane Stadium • Blacksburg, Va.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Casey Barth kicked a
21 -yard field goal on the final play and the Tar Heels'
defense, ranked seventh in the nation, stopped No. 1 4
Virginia Tech all night long in a 20-17 victory

One week after blowing an 1 8 point lead in a 30-27
home loss against Florida State that had them reeling, the
Tar Heels put their troubles in the past and handed the
Hokies their second loss in a row.

The Tar Heels (5-3, 1 -3 Atlantic Coast Conference) got
their first conference win after forcing a fumble by Ryan
Williams at his own 24 with 2:02 left and running out the
clock.

Barth's field goal, his second in the final 3 minutes, just
made it official. The reverse may be true of the Hokies (5-
3, 3-2), who until losing to No. 1 1 Georgia Tech 1 2 days
ago were in the thick of the national championship picture
and feeling good.

No one felt worse than Williams, who started the night
averaging 1 1 9 rushing yards, gained 96 and was hoping
to lead the team down the field to a win until he lost the
ball.

The loss was the Hokies' first in six ACC games against
the Tar Heels.

Tydreke Powell caused Williams to fumble for just the
second time this season-the first was on a muffed punt in
the opener--and Deunta Williams recovered, setting the
Tar Heels up at the Hokies 24. After six carries by Ryan
Houston, Barth's chip shot won it.

Yates, who was knocked out of the Tar Heels 20-1 7
loss to the Hokies last season, finished 1 8-for-28 for just
1 31 yards. He was sacked twice, both in the first quarter.

He hit Jheranie Boyd from 1 3 yards in the first half
for the game's first points, and Greg Little from 1 5 yards
as the Tar Heels answered immediately after the Hokies
tied it.

The Hokies finished with just 256 yards and 1 1 first
downs.

They finally came to life with their first possession of
the third quarter, and a huge play by Taylor early in the
drive saved it. Facing a third-and- 1 7 from his 1 1 , Taylor
dodged pressure and rifled a 22-yard pass to Dyrell
Roberts for the first down.

November 7, 2008

Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Ryan Houston ran for a
career-high 1 64 yards and Jheranie Boyd scored the
clinching touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to
help North Carolina beat Duke 1 9-6 on Saturday.

Charles Brown also came up with a key interception
late in the third quarter as part of a dominating defensive
performance for the Tar Heels (6-3, 2-3 Atlantic Coast
Conference), who shut down Thad Lewis and the prolific
passing attack that had carried the Blue Devils (5-4, 3-2)
to three straight victories.

Duke finished with 1 25 total yards and had to fight for
every one of them. The Tar Heels didn't have much offen-
sive success, but they wore down the Blue Devils behind
Houston after starting tailback Shaun Draughn went out
with an early shoulder injury.

Houston finished with a career-high 37 carries, includ-
ing 10 on the clock-draining drive that ended with Boyd's
touchdown with 6:57 left.

He also had the lead block on Matt Daniels that
allowed Boyd to get to the right pylon on a 3-yard end-
around that made it a two-possession game.

Not a bad performance for a guy who typically served
as the short-yardage and goal-line back and had never
had more than 1 8 carries or 74 yards rushing in a game.
Then again, the Tar Heels didn't have much choice after
Draughn injured his left shoulder on a 9-yard gain on the
Tar Heels' first offensive play and didn't return.

It was the first meeting in 1 5 years in which both North
Carolina and Duke had winning records, while it was one
of the rare times in the rivalry that they weren't meeting
to close the regular season. But it ended much like the rest
have, with North Carolina winning for the 1 9th time in
20 meetings.

The game remained tight until the final period despite
the fact Lewis was under constant pressure and didn't
have time to wait for his receivers to get open.

He completed 1 6 of 33 passes for 1 1 3 yards, snap-
ping his streak of four straight 300-yard games. His
biggest mistake came when he tried to force the ball to
Conner Vernon late in the third quarter only to see Brown
jump in front of the pass and return it 54 yards. That set
up Barth's 41 -yard kick for a 9-6 lead on the final play of
the third quarter.

Carolina 33, Miami 24

November 14, 2009

Kenan Stadium • Chapel Hill, N.C.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Kendric Bumey returned
one of his three interceptions for a 77-yard touchdown
and his third pick resulted in a bizarre fourth-quarter
score that helped North Carolina beat No. 1 2 Miami
33-24 on Saturday.

Bumey fumbled his third interception on what looked
to be a forward lateral, but Melvin Williams picked up
the loose ball and ran the last 44 yards for a score. The
touchdown held up on review after replays showed the
ball slipping from Burney's hand, confirming a play that
gave the Tar Heels (7-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) a
30- 1 7 lead with about 9 1 /2 minutes left.

Casey Barth kicked four field goals, including the
clincher with 1 :57 left, to help North Carolina become
bowl-eligible for the second straight year and give Butch
Davis yet another win against his former program. It also
was North Carolina's fifth consecutive win against ranked
teams dating to last season.

It was quite a way for the Tar Heels to close their home
schedule. Their defense, which came in ranked fifth in the
nation, allowed 435 yards but harassed Jacory Harris
into a career-high four interceptions - with three going to
Burney to end drives deep in North Carolina territory.

Harris threw for 31 9 yards and a touchdown for the
Hurricanes (7-3, 4-3), and Graig Cooper and Damien
Berry each ran for scores. But they had to play catch-up
almost the entire game, with North Carolina using
Burney's long TD return to take a 20-7 halftime lead then
getting a 32-yard field goal from Barth midway through
the third.

It was a familiar scene for the Tar Heels, who led Flor-
ida State 24-6 in the third before faltering late and losing
30-27. This time, North Carolina held on, putting together
an 1 1 -play, 60-yard drive that took more than 5 minutes
off the clock and set up Barth's final field goal - the kind of
drive it couldn't manage against the Seminoles.

Ryan Houston ran for 76 yards for the Tar Heels,
including 33 on that final drive. Greg Little had a 29-yard
TD catch from T.J. Yates in the first quarter.

Burney finished with 170 interception return yards, a
single-game ACC record, and became the first Tar Heel to
have three picks in a game since Dre' Bly in 1 996.

Carolina 31, Boston College 13

November 21, 2008

Alumni Stadium •

Chesnut Hill, Mass.

BOSTON (AP) - Cam Thomas and Kendric Burney
each had defensive touchdowns on Saturday as North
Carolina scored three times in a span of 2 minutes, 19
seconds to open a 21 -point lead and hold on to beat
Boston College 31-13.

North Carolina (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference)
forced six turnovers totaled to win its fourth consecutive
game.

Deunta Williams had three interceptions, returning
one 39 yards to the BC 6 inch-line with 4:42 left in the
game. Ryan Houston ran it in from there for his second
touchdown of the game to make it 28-1 3.

Boston College (7-4, 4-3) had an outside shot at
winning the ACC division title, but that disappeared with
a flurry of first-quarter turnovers by quarterback Dave
Shinskie that helped spot the Tar Heels to a 21 -0 lead. The
Eagles would have needed to win their last two games
and hope Clemson lost to Virginia, which is in last place
in the ACC Coastal Division.

Shinskie fumbled away one ball that Thomas returned
20 yards for a touchdown and then, two plays later, threw
an interception that Burney ran in from 30 yards out.
Shinskie had four interceptions in all; he also fumbled
twice more when BC recovered, and another interception
was negated by a pass interference call.

Mike Marscovetra relieved him late in the fourth quar-
ter; his first pass was picked off by Melvin Williams.

T.J. Yates threw three interceptions of his own, includ-
ing one in the end zone when Carolina was still sitting on
a 21 -1 3 lead. But Roderick Rollins, who had been called
for a late hit that moved the Tar Heels in position to score,
outjumped the receiver and kept BC in the game.

Three plays later, Deunta Williams grabbed his third
interception of the game.

Houston ran for 1 yard to make it 7-0, and the Eagles
ran just two plays before Shinskie fumbled when was hit
from behind by E.J. Wilson. Thomas, a defensive tackle,
picked the bouncing ball up and rumbled the last 20
yards, fighting off Harris near the goal line and scoring
his first career touchdown to make it 14-0.

Carter Finley Stadium •

Raleigh, N.C.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Russell Wilson threw four touch-
down passes and Alan-Michael Cash blocked a field goal
with about 5 minutes left to help North Carolina State
rally past No. 23 North Carolina 28-27.

Wilson connected twice with Owen Spencer for scores,
including the go-ahead 38-yard touchdown two plays into
the fourth quarter that gave the Wolfpack [5-7, 2-6 ACC)
a third straight win against its next-door neighbors and
fiercest football rival.

Wilson and the Wolfpack offense got off to a slug-
gish start against a defense that has ranked among the
nation's toughest all year. But the longer the game wore
on, the better Wilson and his teammates got, until Wilson
put N.C. State on top by lofting a pass over the middle
to Spencer, who sprinted away from defender Da'Norris
Searcy for the 28-27 lead with 14:31 to play.

Wilson completed 20 of 27 passes for 259 yards,
including a critical third-down strike to Spencer with about
3 minutes left that moved the chains and allowed the
Wolfpack to work on the clock while the Tar Heels - who
burned their final timeout with 3: 1 6 left - could do nothing
to stop them.

North Carolina finally got the ball back at its 28-yard
line after a fourth-down stop with 23 seconds left. T.J,
Yates forced a pass to Erik Highsmith, and the throw went
high and into the arms of Clem Johnson to seal the win.

Yates threw two touchdown passes to Jheranie Boyd
for the Tar Heels (8-4, 4-4), including a 70-yarder in the
final minute of the first half, while Johnny White scored on
a 40-yard run that helped North Carolina take a 24-1 4
halftime lead.

But the Tar Heels repeatedly cost themselves with penal-
ties and a goal-line fumble by White that wiped out what
should have been a first-quarter TD run.

In fact, the Tar Heels had two penalties after driving in-
side the 10 - one holding, one personal foul - that forced
them to settle for field goals. Then there was a second-
quarter touchdown drive by the Wolfpack in which North
Carolina's defense was flagged twice for pass interference
and once for roughing.

North Carolina was penalized 10 times for 1 22 yards

2009 GAME REVIEWS

Pittsburgh 19, Carolina 17

December 26, 2009

Bank of America Stadium

Charlotte, N.C.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Dion Lewis rushed for
1 59 yards and a touchdown to pass Tony Dorset) as
Pittsburgh's top freshman rusher, and Dan Hutchins kicked
a 33-yard field goal with 52 seconds left to give the 1 7th-
ranked Panthers a 19-17 win over North Carolina on
Saturday in the Meineke Bowl.

Winning 10 games for the first time since Dan Marino
was the quarterback in 1981 , Pitt (10-3) overcame a
disappointing loss to Cincinnati three weeks ago that cost
it a Sugar Bowl berth and staged a late rally in front of a
hostile crowd.

Pitt converted on fourth down at its own 30 and took
advantage of a key offsides penalty to set up Hutchins'
fourth field goal.

T.J. Yates threw two touchdown passes to Greg Little,
but his incomplete pass on fourth-and-10 from his own 49
with 6 seconds left sent the Tar Heels (8 5) to their second
straight loss.

Lewis surpassed Dorsett's freshman rushing record of
1 ,686 yards in the first quarter and finished with 1 ,799,
behind only Dorsett's 2,150 in his Heisman Trophy-win-
ning, national championship season of 1976.

Yates was 1 9 of 32 for 1 83 yards and an interception
while Little caught seven passes for 87 yards and Ryan
Houston rushed for 83 yards.

But North Carolina's defense, which came in sixth in
the nation overall and ninth against the run, struggled to
contain the shifty Lewis.

The matchup featured old coaching buddies who won
a national championship and Super Bowl together. Pitt's
Dave Wannstedt and Davis worked on Jimmy Johnson's

staffs at Oklahoma Stale, Miami and the Dallas Cowboys
Their careers then included NFL head coaching jobs
before they returned to college.

It took Wannstedt's big gamble to help Pitt end a two
game losing streak after North Carolina took a 17-16
lead late in the third quarter on Yates' second touchdown
pass to Little

Facing a fourth-and-1 from his own 30 with 6:36 left,
Bill Stull got 3 yards on a quarterback keeper.

Lewis was later stuffed on third down, leaving Warms!
edt with another decision on fourth-and 2 from the North
Carolina 30 with 1 :30 left. He brought out the field goal
unit, but North Carolina's Cam Thomas jumped offsides,
giving Pitt a first down.

Lewis got 1 3 yards on the next play, and his 6-yard
run into the middle of the field set it up for Hutchins and
erased an earlier blunder.

Lewis broke Dorsett's 36-year-old mark on a 24 yard
run late in the first quarter that ended with him fumbling
the ball through the end zone for a touchback when E.J.
Wilson knocked the ball free.

The shifty Lewis made up for it with a personal,
three-play 45 yard drive that ended with an 1 1 -yard
touchdown run that put Pitt ahead 10-7 early in the
second quarter.

The 5-foot 8 Lewis had eclipsed 100 yards by halftime,
his 10th 100-yard game of the season and his eighth
straight. Not bad for a lightly recruited player deemed too
small by most of the major schools.

North Carolina had to overcome its own turnover
trouble. Erik Highsmith's fumble set up a Pitt field goal,
and Yates was picked off by Dan Mason near the goal
line in the second quarter.

After missing from 40 yards on Pitt's opening drive,
Hutchins kicked two 31 -yard field goals, the second giving
the Panthers a 13-10 halftime lead. Hutchins kicked his
school-record 22nd field goal early in the third quarter to

GEORGE BARCLAY, GUARD, 1934

Barclay was Carolina's first football All-America.
The 5-11, 185-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

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.

years and also ranks as the Tar Heels' fourth-leading
career scorer, eighth-leading rusher and 18th-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.

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.

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.

performance in 1970. McCauley rushed for 279 yards and scored five touchdowns in a 59-42 win over the Blue
Devils.

RON RUSNAK, OFFENSIVE GUARD, 1972

Rusnak 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.

DEE HARDISON, DEFENSIVE TACKLE, 1977

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.
Barden was a repeat All-Atlantic Coast Conference
selection in 1978 and 1979. Barden made nine career
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.

Ron Wooten won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 1 980
as the ACC's best blocker.

LAWRENCE TAYLOR, OUTSIDE
LINEBACKER, 1980

From midway in his junior season until the end of
his senior year in 1980, Taylor dominated the loot-
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 11-1 season. Taylor made the
game-saving defensive plays against Texas Tech and
Clemson. He was a runaway selection as ACC Player
of the Year.

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 Carolina'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 Tar 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 Bay 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-America 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 sacks the following year. He was
the only unanimous choice on the 1983 All-ACC
team and 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, 1993

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.

losses in 1 995 en route to the ACC Defensive Player of
the Year honors.

MARCUS JONES, DEFENSIVE TACKLE,
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
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 1 995 Carquest Bowl .

sus 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, rushing and pass
defense that year. No team would lead the league in

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.
Hoklash still received national attention for his out-
standing play. A center on offense and linebacker on
defense. Hoidash 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."

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

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 seven 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 1980 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 tic
Tulane in 1939. two scoring catches against Perm
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

Mew 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
I Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice
^}>- i years and produced one of the
most controversial plays in bowl
hi story.
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 Hipped 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 Rauch.

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 carried 18 times for 37 yards.

PJ\Nl ; Sugar Bowl in 1949 and were
"(defeated 14-6 by the University
\ of Oklahoma, representing the
| Big Seven Conference. A record
:rowd of 85,000 turned out to see
I the Charlie Justice-led Tar Heels
battle Bud Wilkinson's Sooners.
Carolina threatened early,
advancing via a Justice to Art Weiner 23-yard pass
play to the OU 15. Justice's next pass, however,
was intercepted by linebacker Myrle Greathouse
who rumbled 59 yards to the Carolina 13. Sooners'
quarterback Jack Mitchell scored the first points of
the day on a two-yard run.

The Heels capitalized on an OU fumble later in
the first quarter and Justice marched the team down
to the two. from where Hosea Rodgers scored. The
conversion was wide right.

Carolina advanced to the OU eight late in the first
half, but could not score.

The Sooners regained the lead for good in the
third quarter. Quarterback Darreil Royal connected
for 37 yards with Frankie Anderson and two plays

Charlie Justice had another
| great day in the 1950 Cotton

Jowl, but it just wasn't enough
I as the Tar Heels fell to fifth-
jranked Rice, 27-13. The Owls
had a 9-1-0 record, while
Carolina came in at 7-3 and was
ranked 16th.

Rice and Carolina played to
a scoreless draw in the opening quarter, but Rice
opened the scoring in the second quarter when quar-
terback Tobin Rote hooked up with Billy Burkhalter
for a 44-yard touchdown. Bobby Lantrip's three-
yard run built a 14-0 halftime lead, and the Owls
kept right on rolling i n the third quarter.

On its second possession of the second half,
Rice traveled 77 yards in six plays, capped by
Rote's 17-yard scoring pass to "Froggie" Williams.
Burkhalter made it 27-0 with a 12-yard fourth quar-
ter score.

The Tar Heels got two touchdowns in the final
eight minutes. Justice hit Paul Rizzo for a two-yard
touchdown pass and then Rizzo ran it in from two
yards.

in the air, while Art Weiner led the Tar Heels with
five receptions for 41 yards. Billy Hayes topped the
UNC rushing attack with 107 yards on 19 carries.

1Q For the Inst lime since 1950,

i he Tar Heels were playing in a
bowl game for the second con-
secutive season. This lime, the
Tar HecK would fall, 7-3. lo the
I Georgia Bulldogs

The game produced a bowl
lust — brothers coaching against
each other. Bill Dooley led the
far Heels and older brother Vince coached ihe
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 31 -yard pass play from Andy Johnson to Roy
Hunmcutt 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
I defeating Texas Tech. 32-28.
I Quarterback Nick Vidnovic
\ brought the Tar Heels from
[behind with a late scoring drive
| which he capped by tossing a
13-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.

thought it had put up points in the first quarter. On
the Tar Heels' opening drive. Matt Kupec hit split
end Walker Lee with a 50-yard touchdown pass, but
officials ruled the Tar Heels offside and the play
came back.

Early in the third quarter, Kentucky defensive end

the 'Cats recovered at the UNC 21 . That set up the
first of three rushing touchdowns by fullback Rod
Stewart.

over Michigan.

Trailing 9-0. the Tar Heels
rallied for the next 17 points and
then held off a Michigan threat
late in the game to post the first of Dick Crum's four
consecutive bowl wins.

Carolina had two chances early on to score first,
but high winds knocked down a pair of Jeff Hayes
field goal attempts. Michigan did score first fol-
lowing a turnover and added a 53-yard touchdown
reception by Anthony Carter to move ahead 9-0.

Doug Paschal put the Heels on the board with a
two-yard touchdown. Early in the third. Kupec engi-
neered a 16-play. 97-yard touchdown drive which
culminated in a 12-yard pass to Phil Farris. Hayes
added a 32-yard field goal in the fourth for a 1 7-9
UNC lead.

Michigan, thwarted once already in the fourth
when Lawrence Taylor scooped up a loose ball, did
manage another Carter touchdown with 1:28 left, but
the two-point conversion pass to Carter fell short.

Kupec and Lawrence were named co-Most
Valuable Players.

1981 Gator Bowl

Jacksonville, Fla.

Carolina 31, Arkansas 27

December 28, 1981

Kelvin Bryant rushed for 148
; yards and Ethan Horton added
] 44 to lead the Tar Heels to a
3 1 -27 victory over Arkansas in
\J[ the Gator Bowl.

Bryant and Horton shared
: Most Valuable Player honors.
■ 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 Ra/orbacks 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.

December 25, 1982

North Carolina scored the final
23 points of the game in the final
J quarter and held seventh-ranked
: Texas to 48 total yards in the sec-
ond half as the Tar Heels became
the first ACC team to win four
i consecutive bowl games.

Ethan Horton was the offen-
sive star of the game, rushing
lor I 19 yards in the second half 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 flurries and a wind-chill reading that
hovered around 12 degrees.

December 30, 1983

Florida State scored the first
two times it had the ball and pen-
alties and turnovers cost the Tar
Heels dearly, as the Seminoles
whipped Carolina 28-3 in a mis-
erably cold and half-empty Peach
Bowl.

Played before only 25,648 fans
in low-20 degree temperatures,
the Peach Bowl loss snapped the Tar Heels' con-
secutive bowl- game winning streak at four.

The Seminoles held the Tar Heels' running game
to just 32 yards and three first downs. One thousand-
yard rushers Ethan Horton and Tyrone Anthony
were held to 30 and 27 yards, respectively.

Florida State quarterback Eric Thomas, making
his first start, connected with Weegie Thompson on
touchdown passes on the 'Noles first two series.

Midway through the second quarter, the Tar Heels
fumbled away a punt at their own 16 and FSU con-
verted via a 1-yard touchdown run.

Carolina put up its only points of the day on
Brooks Barwick's 36-yard field goal.

The loss was the fourth in the final five games of
the season and ended a season in which Carolina had
been ranked third in the nation.

December 27, 1986

Arizona converted four North
Carolina fumbles into 20 points
and then held off a furious Tar
Heel rally in the fourth quarter to
win the 1986 Aloha Bowl, 30-21.
Carolina dug itself a 30-0 hole
anil 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 Starr a game-high seven times for 53
yards.

1993 Peach Bowl

Atlanta, Ga.

Carolina 21, Mississippi State 17

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

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 Bucky 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.

Priest Holmes rushed for 161
[yards and four touchdowns,
including the game-winner with
J 1:17 to play, to lead Texas to a
; 35-3 1 win over the Tar Heels
I before a Sun Bowl record crowd
| of 50.6 12.

Holmes' four-touchdown per-
formance wrestled away MVP
honors from UNC quarterback Mike Thomas, who
had the finest passing day of his career. Thomas
completed 23 of 39 passes for 298 yards and two
touchdowns. He set UNC bowl game records for
completions and yards and tied the mark with two
scoring tosses. He was 15 for 19 in the first half and
completed 20 of 29 before a final desperation drive.
Wide receivers Marcus Wall and Octavus Barnes
were two more standouts for the Tar Heels. Wall
was selected the game's Most Valuable Special
Teams Player. He gave the Tar Heels a 24-21 lead in
the fourth quarter when he returned a punt 82 yards
for a touchdown.

Barnes set UNC bowl game records for most
catches and yards with nine receptions for 165 yards
and one score. The 165 yards were also the most in
Sun Bowl history.

With Carolina up, 31-21, Texas quickly went on
a 68-yard touchdown drive in only 2:38. On the
next series, Texas took over at its own 32 and drove
68 yards in 10 plays for the winning score. Holmes
carried the last three plays on the drive for nine, two

1995 Carquest Bowl

Miami, Fla.

Carolina 20, Arkansas 10

December 30, 1995

Leon Johnson rushed for a
Carolina bowl record 195 yards
and Mike Thomas threw for two
scores as the Tar Heels knocked
[off Arkansas, 20-10, in the
Carquest Bowl.

Johnson's 195-yard effort
lopped the previous high of 148
yards by Kelvin Bryant, also
against Arkansas, in the 1981 Gator Bowl. Johnson
had just 23 yards on eight carries in the first half, but
exploded for 172 yards in the second half.

All-America tackle Marcus Jones capped his
career with four tackles lor losses, including a quar-
terback sack on Arkansas' last play from scrimmage
- his final collegiate play.

Trailing by a touchdown the Tar Heels quickly
moved into position to tie the game. On third-and-
long quarterback Mike Thomas rolled right, threw
back across the field to Ashford, who sprinted
around the left Hank into the end /one.

The Razorbacks managed to take a 10-7 lead
in the third quarter on a 26-yard field goal by
Latourette. Two series later Carolina went into
the lead for good. On third-and-eight from the 28,
Thomas ran the option around the right corner,
turned upfield and then pitched the ball to Johnson,
who was trailing the play perfectly. Johnson ran
untouched for a 28- yard, go-ahead score.

1998 Gator Bowl

Jacksonville, Fla.

Carolina 42, Virginia Tech 3

January 1, 1998

Chris Keldorf threw for
• 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
Bowl.

The victory. UNC's most lop-
sided in a bowl game, secured a
No. 4 final ranking in the coaches' poll for the I I- 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
coach on December 8th after Mack Brown accepted
the same position at the University of Texas.
Keldorf completed 17 of 28 passes, includ-
ing touchdown throws of 62 and 14 yards to wide
receiver Octavus Barnes and four yards to fullback
Jamie Carrick.

Carolina amassed 427 total yards and held the
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.

The 42 points were the most in UNC postseason
history and the three touchdown passes by Keldorf
set a UNC bowl game record.

Carolina 20, San Diego State 13

December 19, 1998

Ronald Curry rushed for a sea-
son-high 43 yards and a touch-
down, punter Brian Schmitz was
outstanding despite windy condi-
ions and the Tar Heel defense
id not allow a TD in the last 59
minutes as Carolina defeated San
Diego State, 20-13.

Curry, the game's Most
Valuable Offensive Player, gave Carolina the lead
for good with a 48-yard touchdown run on the final
play of the opening quarter. He rushed for 93 yards
on 10 carries and accounted for 96 of Carolina's 196
total offense yards, despite playing just four series.
The game was played winds gusting to 47 miles
per hour. Passing was almost impossible. In fact,
Carolina won the game despite completing just four
passes for 33 yards.

Schmitz averaged 44.0 yards on five punts and
pinned the Aztecs inside their own 1 1-yard line four
times. Late in the second quarter. Schmitz unloaded
a 66-yard punt into the wind.

San Diego State took an early 7-0 lead in the first
minute of the game before the Tar Heels scored 20
unanswered points to close the first half. After two
second-half field goals cut it to 20-13, the Aztecs
had one final chance to tie the game. With just over
a minute left. Dre' Bly broke up a pass in the end
zone. On the following play, Brandon Spoon tipped
Brian Russell's pass in the air and the ball was inter-
cepted at the goal line by Keith Newman with 59
seconds remaining.

BOWL GAME RECAPS

2004 Continental Tire Bowl

Charlotte, IM.C.

Boston College 37, Carolina 24

December 30, 2004

Kicker Ryan Ohliger scored
on a 21 -yard fake field goal run
to seal Boston College's 37-24
victory 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 handoff
from holder Matt Ryan and raced into the end zone,
breaking a tackle along the way, for a 34-24 lead
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
Tire Bowls, so the inclusion of North Carolina was a
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 Dalian Durant threw
for 260 yards and three TDs in his final game as
a Tar Heel. He finished his storied career with 5 I
school records, including all major passing and total
offense records.

Wide receiver Derelle Mitchell caught seven
passes for 116 yards.

2008 Meineke Car Care Bowl

Charlotte, IM.C.

West Virginia 31, Carolina 30

December 27, 2008

Pat White threw for 332
yards, including a 20-yard touch-
| down pass to Alric Arnett mid-
l way through the fourth quarter
I to send West Virginia to a 3 1-30
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 Lazear with under 2 minutes left
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.

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 7:14 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.

2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl

Charlotte, IM.C.

Pittsburgh 19, Carolina 17

December 26, 2009

Dion Lewis rushed for 159
.yards and a touchdown, and Dan
Hutchins kicked a 33-yard field
: goal with 52 seconds left to give
the 1 7th-ranked Panthers a 19-17
I win over North Carolina on
Saturday in the Meineke Bowl.
Winning 10 games for the
first time since Dan Marino was the quarterback in
1981. Pitt (10-3) converted on fourth down at its
own 30 and took advantage of a key offsides penalty
to set up Hutchins' fourth field goal.

T.J. Yates threw two touchdown passes to Greg
Little, but his incomplete pass on fourth-and-10 from
his own 49 with 6 seconds left sent the Tar Heels
(8-5) to their second straight bowl loss.

Yates was 19 of 32 for 183 yards and an inter-
ception while Little caught seven passes for 87 yards
and Ryan Houston rushed for 83 yards.

But North Carolina's defense, which came in
sixth in the nation overall and ninth against the run,
struggled to contain the shifty Lewis.

The matchup featured old coaching buddies
who won a national championship and Super Bowl
together. Pitt's Dave Wannstedt and Davis worked
on Jimmy Johnson's staffs at Oklahoma State,
Miami and the Dallas Cowboys. Their careers
then included NFL head coaching jobs before they
returned to college.

It took Wannstedt's big gamble to help Pitt end a
two-game losing streak after North Carolina took a
17-16 lead late in the third quarter on Yates' second
touchdown pass to Little.

MEDIA INFORMATION

ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

Football media services are coordinated by Director
of Football Communications Kevin Best and Assistant
Athletic Communications Director Bobby Hundley.
Please direct interview, information and photo requests
to Best or Hundley. 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
A.D. for Communications Steve Kirschner. The mailing
address is P.O. Box 2126, Chapel Hill, N.C. 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 Gate 6. Will Call opens two 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 Dogwood 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 has wireless capability.
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 919 area code,
dial 780-2800. However, if you are calling from outside
the 919 area code, then you must dial 1-800-919-2800.

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.

INTERVIEWS WITH HEAD COACH BUTCH _DAV|S

Butch Davis will meet with the media at 1 1 :30 a.m.
each Monday prior to a game for approximately 30 min-
utes. A podcast of Davis's Monday press conference will
be available on TarHeelBlue.com later that afternoon.

Davis is also available on the weekly ACC
Teleconference on Wednesdays. Contact the ACC or Best
for the time and phone number.

All other interviews should be arranged through the
communications office.

PLAYER INTERVIEWS

All player interviews should be arranged through Kevin
Best or Bobby Hundley. 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.

PRACTICE COVERAGE

Subject to change, Carolina will practice each
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday beginning at 3:30
p.m. on the practice fields located directly across the
street from the baseball stadium and adjacent to the
UNC School of Law. Players and select assistant coaches
are available to meet with the media before practice on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Practice will be
open for 30 minutes each Tuesday.

TAR HEEL SPORTS NETWORK

The Tar Heel Sports Network On Air Talent (l-r):
Jones Angell, Woody Durham, Rick Steinbacher, Lee Pace

Sports Network

Learfield Communications begins its 12th 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, conferences and arenas 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 10-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 16th 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 40th 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.

Sports Network, on a full-time basis, and in 1984. he permanently moved his family
to Chapel Hill. He and his wife of 47 years, Jean, are the parents of two sons. Wes,
Georgia's Sportscaster of the Year, is in his 16th year handling play-by-play duties at
Georgia Tech, and his seventh year handling the play-by-play duties for the NFL's Atlanta

Winston-Salem, and broadcasts both football and basketball games for Elon University.
Woody and Jean have 1 1-year-old twin grandchildren, Emily and Will.

Durham has been named North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year on 13 different occa-
sions, most recently in 2009. In fact, Woody and Wes were both honored by the National
Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association in Salisbury on May 1 . 2006.

In 1993. Woody was inducted into the Stanly County Sports Hall of Fame. In 1994,

lowing year, the General Alumni Association presented him with its Distinguished Service

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 Ail-American Football Association (June, 2005). In 2010.

TAR HEEL 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 col-
umn supporting North Carolina troops was driven from
the field. After the battle, the North Carolinians who
had successfully fought it out alone, happened 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 Jeffs bought it all up," he went on, refer-
ring 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 1 991 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 1 924.

"In 1924 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 1 922 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 pur-
chase a fitting mascot," said Huggins.

Rameses the First was shipped in from Texas, arriv-
ing 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 dropkick sailed

between the goalposts,
giving the Tar Heels a 3-0
victory and a legendary
mascot.

OLD WELL WALK

On game days, the
North Carolina footba
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 recog-
nized landmarks. From
there, the Tar Heels walk
from the Old Well through
the main quad of cam-
pus 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
1 9th Century. When the
University reopened fol-
lowing the Civil War,
most social activities were
directed by two literary
societies, the Dialectic and
Philanthropic. The officio
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 combination as that used by
the chief marshals and ball managers, colors which rep-
resented not membership in a society, but a University
student body.
