UNC 12, UCONN 10

Going into the season, I predicted UNC would be The Citadel by a score of 36-13. We outperformed my guestimation. Overall, I was pleased with our team against The Citadel, but was worried about our sluggish start.

Last weekend we played a very hyped Huskies team. Earlier this year, I predicted we would beat UConn by a score of 27-20. I knew that playing in East Hartford would be a tall order, but I had no idea tht UConn's D would be as strong as they showed on Saturday. We beat a very solid team.

Going into the 4th quarter, Carolina was driving for a score. I just knew that we needed a TD, but we ended up settling for a field goal. UConn couldn't do anything with the ball, and we had the ball back with about 9 minutes left in the game. We once again created a strong drive, holding the ball for about 6 1/2 minutes, and tied the score 10 all with 2 and 1/2 minutes left. UConn gets the ball back and makes two blunders that cost them the game. First, the QB was not ready for the snap and the ball ended up on the 8 yard line (UConn did recover). On the next play, UConn completed a pass that was returned to about the 25 yard line, but hold on! Holding, UConn in the endzone. SAFETY!

Although UConn recovered an onsides kick, they couldn't get farther than the 50 yard line. UNC holds, and escpaes with a great 12-10 victory.

Shawn Draughn didn't look too good, but his running relies on our offensive line that was beset by injuries. Ryan Houston doesn't need those blockers as much and was able to make several impressive runs on the last series.

Ugly win, but I'll take it. GO HEELS!
