Today in Tar Heel history
Sept. 27, 1997: Mack Brown and the Tar Heels demolished Virginia, 48-20, at Kenan Stadium. The game was a payback from the previous year's heartbreak against the Cavaliers. The fifth-ranked Tar Heels initially fell behind by 17 points before running off 45 straight, including a Dre' Bly interception return for a touchdown.
