Pregame: This place is a sea of Carolina Blue. First time on campus,absolutely tremendous. Nothing beats an on campus stadium. This one is beautiful. Virginia was nice, this may even be better.

News, Kendall Reyes isn't on the trip. That was the big secret this week,I guess. Hope Butch Davis didn't game plan much to stop him. This place is going to be loud.

Update 7:08: Huskies win toss, and DEFER! Tremendous opening down here for the Tar Heels. The pregame pageantry of college football is awesome. Wish I was in the stands. The place is clad in light Carolina blue.

Update 7:12 pm: Twyon Martin starting at DT. Don't know if Polito is here.Kendall Reyes isn't here.

Update 7:15: Little bit of Wildcat there. Brown direct snap. Interesting.

Update 7:34 pm: Tony C 23 yard field goal. UConn goes 14plays 63 yards. Frazer looks comfortable.Brown is a horse. Good opening drive. 3-0 UConn.

Update 7:31 pm: Good hold there the Huskies. Butler made an NFL play stopping a run for a loss on first and goal from the 10. Cody Brown sacks Cameron Sexton on third down. Ball was fumbled, but UNC recovered. 31 yard FG for UNC 3-3. I like the feel so far and the vibe I get from the Huskies.

Update 7:40 pm: Bad throw by Frazer on INT. Never saw the LB. UNC takes over at the15 of UConn. Got to hold here. Frazer stared down D.J Hernandez on the slant.

Update 7:43 pm: TD UNC, 1 yard run by Ryan Houston. 10-3 Carolina. Turnovers,turnover,turnovers. 10-3. UConn can't panic here. Just relax. Still like the vibe. Almost had a fumble at the UConn 1. But, for second time this game a fumble was on the ground but UNC recovered it.

First quarter wrap

Difference is simply the Frazer INT. UNC intercepted pass, and two potential fumbles by UNC weren't recovered by UConn. 10-3 because of the turnover. UConn looks comfortable however.No more mistakes however. Brown carrying the load. Frazer looks poised. He can't stare down his receivers however. Brown, 40 first quarter yards. Frazer 5-8 28 yards, 1 INT.

Update 8 pm: Uh oh. third straight possession with no first down and then a blocked punt. UNC has ball at the UConn 19.What's up with the punt blocking? UConn is now on the ropes.Has to hold to a field goal here or they are in trouble. Offense can't get a first down.

Update 8:04: Jasper Howard a great int? UConn on the brink, Cody Brown brings pressure and Sexton throws an INT. Get one or two first downs here and then your fine.

Update 8:14pm: Embarrassing special teams performance by UConn. Another block punt this time for a TD. 17-3. That's going to be the ball game folks. On three punts, Cullen has had two of them blocked and one tipped. It's as bad a special teams as you have ever seen.UConn its own self destructive force. Penatlies, turnovers, and punt protection are why UConn is down.The minus plays are staggering.

Update 8:34pm: At UNC 9 yardline and Kashif Moore has the ball tips off his hands. Bad play by Kashif. Ball should have been caught. 17-3 at the half. Horrible first half for the Huskies.

Halftime wrap

UConn is its own worst enemy tonight. Officially, three punts are blocked, two resulted in essentially turnovers(first one was tipped and went 47 yards). The TD on the punt block is a back breaker. Penalties are killing the Huskies. 17-3, both touchdowns are off a punt block, and off a drive that started at the UConn 15. But, even the Frazer INT (Moore's fault) at the end of the half illustrates how frustrating this is for UConn. Frustrating first half. UNC is right there. These teams are even.

Can't win anywhere with that type of negative plays. I will say, I don't think the game is over as I stated above. UConn just has no margin of error anymore. Two INTs, penalties galore, dropped passes, didn't grab two fumbles on the ground and THREE blocked punts (really 2, but how come this is a problem?). How is this only 17-3?

Some stats, Frazer 12-of-22 100 yards. I think expect for maybe 2 3 throws, he has looked good. It's on the receivers to run good patterns, and to catch it. You can' have a ball tip off your hands. Brown, if you take away some holding calls, would be over 100 again already. Very poor job by UConn in the first half.

UConn outgaining UNC 169-107. Again.What does yardage actually mean again?

Third quarter

Update 9:05: Frazer with several nice throws on the opening drive. Looks comfortable.Don't like running the ball on 3rd and 9. It was a pitch to Brown,meant to be misdirection. That's a lot of yards to get. Got to pass it. Still,Tony C short field goal 17-6.

Update 9:12pm: Delay as one of the lights went out. They can play in this. Don't know why they aren't. Uh ohh, second one went out. What's the procedures now?

Update 9:18 pm: No idea what's going on or how long it will take. Crowd is doing the wave. One bulb on top of the tower. 20 minute delay as the lights warmup. Way to ruin the game. Don't understand why they can't play.

Update 9:23 pm: Game was just ruined. Flow is important, UConn stopped UConn first down. Now what? Kung Fu fighting is playing in the press box. This is surreal. I am looking for the dancing girls. Should go get some food. Why isn't the UNC band playing anything?They are a band aren't they? Presumably, they know some songs. Maybe I just complain too much.

Game should start at9:33.

Update 9:39: 39 yard TD run by UNC's Draughn. 24-6 UNC. That's the ball game folks barring a miracle. The special team have been horrible. Cullen shanked a punt and UNC got the ball at their own 43. Don't know Draughn went untouched. Bad play.

Update 10:04. UConn own worstenemy. Blow out city with Frazer not taking a sack that resulted in a 22-yard INT return as he tried to just get rid of the ball. What you going to do? Disappointing performance. 38-6 right now. A humbling experience.

Fourth quarter

Update 10:08: That's going to be it for live blogging. Will be back later after the game. Very disappointing performance. Frazer's performance wasn't bad, and he will improve.

Donald Brown just went over 1,000 yards, that's a bright spot.
