Lucas: Davis Earns More Than Records

On the biggest play of the biggest game of what may turn out to be Carolina’s biggest football season ever, Larry Fedora did exactly what he’s done in must-score situations for the past four years: he watched his Tar Heels figure out a way to get the ball to Quinshad Davis.

With Virginia Tech holding a 27-24 lead in overtime two weeks ago in Blacksburg, Carolina had third and goal. A touchdown meant the game and a Coastal Division title. Failing to convert would likely have forced Fedora to kick a game-tying field goal and play an unpredictable second overtime.
