    With the NCAA lurking around Chapel Hill and some of its best players sitting in the stands, North Carolina found itself in a most improbable position.

    The 6-yard line with a few seconds on the clock, a touchdown and an extra point away from actually winning the game.

    T.J. Yates took one shot at the end zone, the ball slipping through the hands of Zack Pianalto. Then one last throw to the same guy. Same result.

    No. 21 LSU held on for a 30-24 victory Saturday night, but the 18th-ranked Tar Heels almost pulled it out after going down by 20 at halftime. There may be no such thing as a moral victory, but this was about as close as you can get.
