GoHeels Exclusive: Missed Opportunities

BLACKSBURG, Va. — In his 30 seasons as a collegiate head coach, Mack Brown has been involved in many memorable games, none more notable than Texas' win over Southern California in the 2005 BCS National Championship.

North Carolina's 43-41 six-overtime defeat against Virginia Tech on Saturday won't bear nearly as much significance. Yet, it likely won't be forgotten by Brown.

"I've only been in one overtime (game) in my coaching career, and that was against West Virginia and it was one overtime and we won," said Brown when asked during his postgame press conference if he'd ever been a part of such a bizarre game.
