North Carolina upsets 14th ranked Virginia Tech

Casey Barth kicked a 21-yard field goal
on the final play and North Carolina stopped No. 14 Virginia Tech
all night in a 20-17 victory on Thursday night.
    The Tar Heels (5-4, 1-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) got their
first conference win after forcing a fumble by Ryan Williams at his
own 24 with 2:02 left and turning it into the winning drive.
    The Hokies (5-3, 3-2), who until losing to No. 11 Georgia Tech
12 days ago were in the national championship picture, lost their
second straight.
    Virginia Tech lost for just the fifth time in 20 televised
Thursday night games, and for the first time in six meetings with
North Carolina since joining the ACC in 2004.
