Tar Heels' performance par for the course

Posted Dec 27, 2009
Somewhere between bitter and sweet, North Carolina's 2009 football season ended Saturday evening with a 19-17 loss to No.17 Pittsburgh in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. The Tar Heels finished the season at 8-5 and that feels about right. They often were good and occasionally very good, considering some of the injury issues they faced. But they also were their own worst enemy at times, especially Saturday. (Charlotte Observer)
