    Game information
    • North Carolina's Eric Lewis and Virginia's Eric Clay were ejected in second quarter for fighting
    • North Carolina's late touchdown pass angered Virginia players but Virginia had called timeout just prior to the scoring play

    [5]

    Throwing that pass shows no respect for us. We don't forget those things.
