In a battle of 7-3 ACC teams, North Carolina is drilling Boston College in the first quarter, 21-3. The most valuable player for North Carolina hasn’t been a Tar Heel, but rather Eagles quarterback Dave Shinskie.
Two of North Carolina’s touchdowns are courtesy of the former minor-leaguer turned freshman quarterback. His first turnover, a fumble, was recovered and run back for a touchdown by Cam Thomas. The other was a pick six courtesy of Kendrick Burney, who went 30 yards for a touchdown.
On the opening drive of the game the Tar Heels rode running back Ryan Houston for a decisive touchdown. Quarterback T.J. Yates’ fumble opened the door a bit for the Eagles, but they had to settle for a field goal.
21-3 as the first quarter comes to an end.
