UNC 31, ECU 17

Posted Sep 19, 2009
UNC was waiting for its young receivers to emerge. Turns out all the Tar Heels needed was a visit from ECU. No. 24 UNC beat ECU 31-17 on a breakout game from freshman receiver Erik Highsmith, above, who caught six passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Highsmith had help. Fellow freshman receiver Jheranie Boyd caught a 59-yard score and Ryan Houston rushed for a pair of touchdowns for UNC's first 3-0 start since 1997. (Raleigh News & Observer)
