Upset!

We have an upset in the first weekend of scholarly tackle foo'ba' and it's a big 'un. Down go the #10 Nawth C'lina "Fighting Mack Browns" in Blacksburg, VA to the unranked "Hokies" of Va. Tech. C'lina's great junior QB Sam Howell had an uncharacteristic day throwing three INT's, the last, the killer, with :37 left at the Tech 40. The "Heels" were movin'. Tech punted and pinned UNC down on their own 13 yard line with 3:10 to play. After penalty, a replay of 4th down from their 24, needing 11, Howell completed an 18-yarder for a first. North Carolina took their damn time, mixing in four runs in their nine-play drive, never calling time-out only to have Howell throw his killer intercerption.
