Tar Heels beat ECU for team’s best start since 1997

Posted Sep 19, 2009
Dekota Marshall stood outside the visitor’s locker room at Kenan Stadium and repeated his statement, echoing what he and the other ECU defensive backs had heard their coaches preach all week in practice. “You give up a big play, it’s a touchdown. Don’t give up the deep ball.” The words rang hollow in the wake of a 31-17 defeat to No. 24 North Carolina on Saturday afternoon. (Wilmington Star News)
