It has been a long time since 22nd ranked North Carolina (4-1) has been in the Top 25. The last time it happened, seven years ago, the Heels next game was a loss. With Notre Dame (4-1) coming into Kenan, wanting to be in the polls as well, if the Heels do not play an "A" game history might repeat...

Tomorrow North Carolina will play a very tough game at Kenan Stadium, one that if they win will solidify their stay in the Top 25 and show them as a legitimate team in college football.

After a great game played by the North Carolina Tar Heels and what I have to believe was a great game plan installed by the coaching staff, Butch Davis and his team are now ranked. I went and found my good friend "The Pulse of the South" to ask him about the game and what he thought was good and bad

Heels lucky, I don't think so
I went over to one of my daily stops for UNC reading, Tar Heel Fan and read about the North Carolina/Miami game. In it was a sentence or two about a friend of his texting him saying that Carolina had gotten lucky. I disagree.

Raise them helmets high, you deserve it!
"Raise 'em High!" That is all I can say, truthfully. For an old Heel like me, who has watched game in and game out of this team for a very, very long time I thought about so many things as this Butch Davis led team fought on Saturday.

If there was a time that I can eat crow and be happy it is today. What a game! In the end, when it was all said and done, North Carolina (3-1, 1-1 in the ACC), who had lost 20 games in a row out of the state, beat Miami (2-2, 0-1 in the ACC) on the road 24 to 21.

When you get to the bottom of the match up between the Tar Heels and the `Canes the thing that is still left is: will North Carolina be able to run the ball against a team that is in ranked 17th against the run.

when you are winning the problems are well hidden. Unfortunately UNC didn't win the game, and they lost their starting qb as well. Now, with a road game against the team that was once home to Butch Davis, this squad needs to find a leader and a path.

Take one part bad luck, two parts bad penalties, one part inexperienced quarterback, one part bad timing mistakes and one part not being lucky and that is the recipe for disaster that today North Carolina (2-1, 0-1 in the ACC) had against Virginia Tech (3-1, 2-0 in the ACC).
