Tar Heels hit reset button
The North Carolina football team entered this season with two goals — to win the ACC Coastal Division and to claim the "state championship" with wins over its three in-state conference foes.
After accomplishing the first a week ago against Virginia Tech, the Tar Heels achieved the second on Saturday against N.C. State, defeating the Wolfpack 45-34.
With the ACC Championship game set for Saturday, UNC now sets it sights on a new goal for the first time since January.

Mistakes abound
The North Carolina volleyball team entered its final regular-season match of the season against Duke with a chance to claim consecutive ACC titles and extend their winning streak to 13 games.
But because of numerous factors, including a lack of focus, the Tar Heels fell to the Blue Devils in four sets on Saturday.
