North Carolina was left without words to describe how its comeback against Louisville fell short.

After a devastating accident in July, Duke’s Blair Holliday returned to Durham.
THE QUOTABLES
“He has a standard of excellence and an approach that is really something for a lot of guys to emulate. From Day 1, he’s not really silly, he listens, he studies, he watches film, he prepares. He doesn’t make a lot of mental errors. A lot of freshmen make mental errors. And he finishes plays hard.” – Miami Coach Al Golden on Johnson.
“I actually meant to hit the punter. I missed him and actually heard the crowd screaming, so I knew Kyshoen had broke [free]. I turned around and saw 87 and another number. I just knew if I hit them clean, Kyshoen going to score.” – Virginia Tech’s Ronny VanDyke, on this block.
“I challenged those guys, man to man. Who’s going to back down? Who’s going to step up? And they answered the call.” – Georgia Tech Coach Paul Johnson.
“I really don’t know. I really don’t know what was going on.” – North Carolina receiver Erik Highsmith.
