Extra Points: Knock Out

By Lee Pace

Carolina's football team was back in Kenan Stadium Saturday for the first time since the spring game last April, only now the Tar Heels were emerging from a newly renovated locker room onto a pristine AstroTurf playing field installed during June and July. The sky was a perfect shade of blue and the clock was ticking toward the season opener in three weeks against South Carolina.

"It felt like game day walking out on that beautiful field, the sun was shining, it wasn't too hot, it was just a great day for football," senior offensive tackle Charlie Heck said.
