THE LAST TIME IN CHAPEL HILL: CAROLINA 41, FLORIDA STATE 9 Carolina scored what many observers will forever remember as one of the greatest games in UNC history by soundly defeating Florida State, 41-9, in Chapel Hill on September 22, 2001. The win was John Bunting’s first as UNC’s head coach and was Carolina’s first in 13 meet- ings with the Seminoles. The loss was Florida State’s third in ACC competition and the Seminoles’ worst regular-season defeat in 16 years. Quarterback Darian Durant passed for two scores, threw for a touchdown and ran for another and defensive end led a Carolina defense that allowed just 34 sec- ond-half yards. The Tar Heels forced five turnovers, registered five quarterback sacks and held the Seminoles to just four of 16 on third down conversions. Peppers dominated the line of scrimmage as he made 10 tackles, including four for losses, one of which was his 25th career sack, and had an interception, his second of the season.

DURANT’S NUMBERS IMPRESSIVE Junior quarterback Darian Durant ranks among the best in the nation and he is on pace to eclipse every North Carolina career passing record in 2003. Although he has started just 10 games in his career, Durant currently ranks first in career completion percentage (.614), second in career touchdowns DURANT IN CAROLINA’S CAREER RECORD BOOK HEAD COACH JOHN BUNTING (33), fourth in career passing yards (3,966), sixth in career total offense (4,255) and seventh in career completions (289).
