Cavs save best for last to beat UNC in overtime

Posted Oct 19, 2008
Virginia was winning the turnover battle but losing the football war. What happened next, probably only the players in the Virginia huddle could have seen coming. Calm and composed, quarterback Marc Verica led the first two-minute drill of his career, moving an offense that had shown no previous life 82 yards in 95 seconds to tie the game. Overtime was almost a formality. The Cavaliers buzzed through the Tar Heels' defense to grab a 16-13 win, sending delirious fans streaming onto the turf. (Virginian-Pilot)
