ATLANTA -- You can't fault North Carolina for its effort. The Tar Heels gave it everything they had in a 30-24 loss to LSU, including recovering an onside kick and a fumble for their final chances at what would have been one of the most memorable comebacks in school history.
There were too many mistakes to overcome, though, and it was too little, too late. Quarterback T.J. Yates deserves a lot of credit for leading the program at one of its lowest points and for keeping the Tar Heels in that game. They could have easily folded. Instead, they recovered a fumble with about a minute to play and made it a game -- the way many of expected it to be long before any investigations ever began.
I'm heading down to the locker room now. Check the blog for more later.
