Big plays benefit Va. Tech
First-drive penalties, sack hurt UNC
BY DAVID MOSES
ASSISTANT SPORTSATURDAY EDITOR
Unlike in its previous four losses
of the season, the North Carolina
football team could point to a few
key plays that decided Saturday’s
27-24 loss to Virginia Tech.
On the Hokies’ first drive of the
game, the Tar Heel defense forced
Va. Tech into a third-and-13 deep
inside its own territory.
Hokies quarterback Bryan
Randall dropped back and threw
an incomplete pass over the
middle out of the reach of Josh
Hyman.
The crowd immediately began
to cheer, thinking UNC had forced
Virginia Tech to go three-and-out
on its first series.
But there was a flag on the
field.
After the ball had already been
batted down, UNC strong safety
Gerald Sensabaugh had come
across the middle and delivered a
late hit on Hyman.
“I would say it probably was
late,” Sensabaugh said. “I knew it
was kind of late after I did it, but
during the moment, it just seemed
like, I don’t know, try to be physical
and set the tone early in the game.
It was a mistake. I shouldn’t have
done that.”
With the late hit, an offsides

Robinson, director of ticket distri

Williams and his staff will give
out doughnuts to students while
they wait in line Saturday.
“It’s a great opportunity for
students to meet Roy in person,”
Strunk said. “And they’re going to
have 180 dozen free doughnuts.”
But CAA, Student Congress and
the Department of Athletics are
starting discussions to change the
distribution policy, particularly for
unused tickets.
“Carolina Athletic Association
is very pleased with the current
system,” Strunk said. “But we are
in the beginning stages of discuss
ing issues.”
Strunk said the current system
is safe for the next three years,
but Trey Winslett, chairman of
Congress’ athletics committee,
said he hopes any changes will be
implemented as soon as next year.
“We are looking into major
changes,” he said. “We have to fig-

The court sanctioned Foster with
a written warning and instructed
him to send a letter of apology to
Broad. The infractions will appear
on his academic record for 10 years.
Judith Wegner, chairwoman
of the faculty, said she thought
Foster opened the case to put pub
lic pressure on the hearings board
to change the resolution. But she
said the open proceeding didn’t
alter the outcome of the case.
“They were all seasoned deci
sion-makers and were not being
subjective to that,” she said. “They
were just doing their job as they
were supposed to.”
The hearing board’s rationale
will be released this week.
Foster’s defense counsel, Adrian
Johnston, said that he and Foster
will respond to the rationale.
“The case was ridiculous in the
fact that it ended up in the honor
system at all,” he said. “This is not the
kind of thing that should be wasting
the time of die Honor Court”
Many students admitted that
they had no knowledge of the case
or how the Honor Court works.
Computer science Professor Greg
Welch said that he was unaware of
the proceedings in Foster’s case but
that he was impressed both with
Foster’s decision to make the hear
ing public and the overall effort of
the University’s honor system.
“If the goal was to educate the
student body or to highlight a per
ceived injustice, I would say that it
was a courageous, interesting and
provocative decision,” he said.
Of several students that were
interviewed, only a few were able
to comment on the situation.
Junior Mark McTamney said
he thinks the decisions in the case
were unfair and not indicative of
general campus opinion.
“I think if you had presented
the situation to an average student
they wouldn’t have thought it was
as serious of an offense as it was,”
he said.
Other students expressed
approval of Foster’s decision to
publicize the case.
“I think it was a good idea to
make it public so maybe people will
understand the system more,” said
sophomore Nicole Plante. “You
don’t ever see what’s going on.”

call on third down later in the
drive and seven consecutive Mike
Imoh rushes, Virginia Tech found
the end zone, and the game was
tied at 7.
Instead of forcing a punt and get
ting the ball back with a chance to
add to UNC’s early 7-0 lead, a pen
alty had given the Hokies new life.
“Seven (penalties) isn’t many,
but they kind of came at criti
cal times,” said UNC coach John
Bunting. “Two third-down penal
ties on the first drive are obviously
ones that really hurt us.
"One of the reasons we have
had some success is we have been
penalty-free, smart, disciplined.
... (But there were) three at the
wrong time, which really hurt us.”
After a blocked punt and a furi
ous fourth-quarter rally, the Tar
Heels drove to the Hokies’ 26-yard
line, and it looked like the worst
possible outcome for the Tar Heels
would be overtime.
On third and eight, North
Carolina quarterback Darian
Durant dropped back and looked
to the middle of the field for an
open receiver.
With no man open downfield,
Chad Scott released from the
backfield and seemed open in
the flat.
Durant decided not to throw

ure out a way to make sure no tick
ets go unused.”
CAA officials expressed hopes of
having a ticket return policy in place
shortly after the start of this season.
The policy would allow students to
return tickets to the box office if
they could not attend games.
With no reward offered for
returning unused tickets, Winslett
said he fears many still will be
thrown away.
“When three or four games are
given out in one distribution, many
times students only want one of
those tickets,” he said. “They pick
up the others and just throw them
in the trash.”

the ball and instead took a sack
for an 11-yard loss, which put UNC
kicker Connor Barth out of reach
for a tying field goal.
“I looked in the flat to Chad,”
Durant said. “I should have
thrown it, but when I looked he
didn’t have his head around. A lot
of should have, would have, could
haves.”
While Scott appeared to be
open, the Tar Heels aren’t blam
ing Durant for holding onto the
ball.
“Their defensive tackles put
some pressure on us,” Bunting
said. “Darian was about ready to
throw downfield, then pulled off
and was going to throw out to
Chad and decided not to. Then
he was hit. What are you going to
say? (Durant) is a great player. He
made a lot of plays today, a lot of
plays.”
On the bright side, the game
marked the first time the Tar
Heels have truly been competitive
in a loss.
After the game, the Tar Heels
were openly dejected and could
find no solace in the close defeat.
And despite his effort, Durant
could not find a positive outcome
in the game.
“No moral victories around here,”
he said.

NCAA Tournament play.
UNC nabs 3rd seed for ACCs
GREENSBORO - Third
seeded North Carolina will meet
No. 6 seed N.C. State in the open
ing round of the 2004 ACC Men’s
Soccer Championship at 8 p.m.
Wednesday at SAS Soccer Park in
Cary.
The Tar Heels finished the sea
son tied for third in the conference
with Duke and Virginia but claimed
the No. 3 seed on the league’s third
tie-breaking procedure.
UNC took the third seed because
of its 12 goals scored in conference
play compared to 11 for both Duke
and Virginia. The Tar Heels scored
a season-best four goals in Sunday’s
4-1 win against Clemson.
The Tar Heels (9-7-2, 4-3-0 in
the ACC) and the Wolfpack (8-7-
2, 2-4-1) met in the quarterfinal
round last season with N.C. State
advancing on penalty kicks after
the teams played 110 scoreless
minutes.
On October 24 of this year,
UNC defeated the Wolfpack, 2-0,
at Fetzer Field.
Tar Heels No. 4 in AP poll
After earning a No. 3 ranking
in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’
Poll, North Carolina’s men’s bas
ketball team is ranked fourth in
the Associated Press poll released
Monday.
The ranking is UNC’s highest in
the preseason poll since the 1997-
98 season, in which the Tar Heels
entered the campaign at No. 4.
UNC was also ranked No. 4 for
one week last season before No. 14
Wake Forest topped the Tar Heels
119-14 in triple overtime Dec. 20.
Kansas received 25 first-place
votes to gamer the No. 1 ranking,
while Wake Forest fell just short of
the Jayhawks with 22 first-place
votes, good enough for the No. 2
spot.
Georgia Tech is third, followed by
UNC. Illinois, Syracuse, Oklahoma
State, Connecticut, Kentucky and
Arizona round out the top 10.
Other ACC teams that cracked
the top 25 were No. 11 Duke, No. 15
Maryland and No. 19 N.C. State.
