Senior cornerback Cedrick Holt made seven tackles, including two tackles for losses, broke up a pass and intercepted another late in the fourth quarter in Carolina's 7-5 victory over No. 23 Virginia and is the Tar Heel Performer of the Week for October 17-23, 2005. Holt's interception, his second of the season, came on Virginia's final offensive play of the game. Virginia QB Marquis Hagans was flushed out of the pocket and his pass was tipped by safety Trimane Goddard. Holt picked the ball out of the air to secure the victory.
