CHAPEL HILL
On a night North Carolina answered its biggest question in the affirmative – can the Tar Heels take care of business against lesser opposition? – there was no answer for one of the strangest plays in recent memory.
Long after everyone has forgotten North Carolina beat Wake Forest 50-14, they’ll still be talking about the fair-catch signal that wasn’t, the weirdness that was Saturday night.
The strangest play of the evening wasn’t the North Carolina touchdown catch that bounced high in the air off a Wake Forest helmet. It was the Ryan Switzer punt return blown dead while Switzer was in mid-stride down the sideline.
