Blacksburg, VA (Sports Network) - Casey Barth kicked a 21-yard field goal as the clock expired, as North Carolina took advantage of an untimely fumble to upend 14th-ranked Virginia Tech, 20-17, at Lane Stadium.
Barth kicked two field goals inside the final three minutes, the second made possible by Virginia Tech freshman tailback Ryan Williams’ fumble deep in Hokie territory near the two-minute mark. UNC ran Ryan Houston six consecutive times to gain the four, and Barth banged home the game-winner from the right hash to give the Tar Heels (5-3, 1-3 ACC) their first conference win.

This is the second consecutive Thursday night game for North Carolina. Last week, the Heels jumped out to a 17-3 lead over Florida State, only to fall by a 30-27 final in front of a heart-broken home crowd. UNC got off to a promising 3-0 start to the campaign, but the team is now 4-3 overall, including a bitterly disappointing 0-3 in ACC play.
Virginia Tech opened the season with a tough loss to Alabama before running off five consecutive victories. That winning streak came to an end last time out, however, as the Hokies fell to Georgia Tech by a 28-23 final on the road. They have had almost two full weeks to prepare for this affair, so expect a fresh group for coach Frank Beamer.
