Turner's Take: A Perfect Day
Elijah Hood and Carolina earned a 48-20 win over Georgia Tech.It was a beautiful afternoon in Kenan Stadium. The temperature was just right –not too cool, warm, even, in the sun. The changing leaves were that beautiful November shade of burnt orange, mixed among the evergreens. It was homecoming; Mr. and Mrs. UNC were crowned. There were alumni in the stands and on the sidelines. And the Tar Heel football team was home for the first time in four weeks, facing an always-troubling Coastal Division rival in Paul Johnson's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. A win would turn a beautiful afternoon in Kenan Stadium into a perfect day in Chapel Hill.
