Whew. First win outside of the state since 2002. A win with a national TV audience looking in. A win where the Heels started slowly but continued to build and build and positively stomped on the neck of an opponent. On the road.

A win that chased the other team’s fans from the stands half-way through the 3rd quarter. A win that gives the Heels over a week to prepare for a visit from a very beatable Virginia Tech team. Most of all, a win.

Bonus Observation: Brandon Tate for Heisman? The Burlington senior has scored about every way possible and has gained 616 yards for the Heels in just two games.
