Things have been going well for the UNC Tar Heels all season long. T.J. Yates got hurt, and Cam Sexton came in and became a proven winner. When Brandon Tate's season ended against Notre Dame, Hakeem Nicks provided an answer for the big plays. Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston emerged as a backfield combination of speed and strength that the offense has been waiting on for more than a year.
Something else went right for the 17th ranked Tar Heels Thursday night in Miami, Fla., as the Hurricanes outlasted the Virginia Tech Hokies 16-14. Though it looked like Miami's repeated failures to punch it into the end zone would cost them in the end, the 'Canes held on for a victory that added a little more resolution to the cloudy picture atop the ACC's Coastal Division.
The win gives the Tar Heels sole possession of first place in the division. With victories at Maryland Saturday, at home against the Wolfpack next Saturday, and at Duke in the season finale on Nov. 29, Butch Davis' group will be boarding a plane that will take them to Tampa and quite possibly to an ACC Championship.
