#18 North Carolina @ #2 Oklahoma State

The last time these two met it was last year for the SEC championship which the cowboys won 41-38.
The Tar heels did not forget it.

This one had points early and often while one team kept scoring the other went ice cold.

The teams scored on their first 4 possessions of the game. North Carolina had two passing TDs while OSU got one short passing TD but had to settle for just 3 on the second possession. Heels up 14-10 4min till half.
North Carolina would drive down the field and score with just over a minute remaining. Pokes unable to even gain a first down and forced to punt. at half 21-10 Tar Heels up.

Cowboys had great success on the opening series scoring a TD but went for two to try to cut the lead to 3. Spencer hit his open man but it was dropped. OSU still down 16-21
North Carolina kept firing and finished off with a TD the first of what would be 28 unanswered points in the 3rd quarter including a 97 yard pick six. As the Cowboys just couldnt do anything right and North Carolina couldnt miss.. Literally. True Freshman QB Mike Neal goes 16-16 6 tuddies in a 56-23 route of the Cowboys.

Not the Cowboys best showing but North Carolina was an unstoppable force today. Both teams now sit at 1-1 in conference play & since in opposite divisions they could have a rematch for the conference title if both teams can make it back to back years.
Things only get harder next week for the Cowboys as they travel to Tuscaloosa to face an Alabama team who also lost this week to unranked Michigan State. Cowboys will need a near perfect game to pick up a huge conference win on the road.
