With lows dipping into the 30s and an 8 pm kickoff, the stage was set for a somewhat low energy affair between UNC and Wake Forest on Saturday night in Chapel Hill and that is just what the crowd received. Not sure that any grand lessons will be taken away from this one, but Carolina won 31-24 to secure their sixth win of the season to reach bowl eligibility. As bleak as things seemed a few short weeks ago, the Tar Heels have now won three in a row.
Omarion Hampton was excellent, as he generally is, running for 244 yards and a touchdown.
