Ryan Houston scored on a short run for the Tar Heels (5-1), who
are off to their best start since winning the first eight games of
the 1997 season. Hakeem Nicks added nine catches for 141 yards and
freshman walk-on Casey Barth kicked three field goals, helping
North Carolina rally from an 11-point first-half deficit and beat
