Quick Note: North Carolina also has a football team

I'd heard the hype about North Carolina, just like I heard the hype about Pitt, and it looks like I picked the wrong sub-.500 team to believe in. While Pitt looks like it would finish in the middle of the MAC, UNC just might be the best team in the ACC.

Last night they got an opportunity to sport their wares to the country, and they did a might fine job. They demonstrated good athleticism, plenty of speed and an adequate level of sophistication for an ACC offense.

But the thing got me all giddy was watching the defense get after people. Rutgers has obviously taken a step back from its performance a couple of years ago, but they are still a tough team. All the same, the Tar Heels were whittling down the Scarlet Knight roster. The game was still competitive at the beginning of half time, but it was over at halftime's end--Rutgers got a chance to think over what was happening to them on the field and felt the pain set in as the adrenaline wore off.
