last year. has one already this year. he's a strength in that pass coverage. he knows where to go and route combinations and zone defense and you force to throw in front of him and came up to make the tackle forcing this field goal try. >> pam: 28-yard attempt by callsy bartcalls -- casey barth, the sophomore. high snap brought down nicely and the kick is through. i've had asthma forever. i've had asthma for 5 years. 10 years. i used to wonder why my controller medicine wouldn't help prevent... ...help prevent my symptoms from coming back. i just figured it couldn't get any better. and then i found out something i didn't know... i found out there are two main causes of asthma symptoms... ...airway constriction you feel and inflammation you may not. most controllers don't treat both. so my doctor prescribed advair. advair treats both main causes to help prevent symptoms in the first place. (announcer) advair contains salmeterol. salmeterol may increase the chance of asthma-related death. so advair is not for asthma that's well controlled on another controller medicine. advair will not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be taken more than twice a day. talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of advair. if you take advair, see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. if you're still having symptoms ask your doctor how to help prevent them with advair. (announcer) get your first prescription free and save on refills at advair.com. advair. now you know. >> pam: we're in chapel hill, north carolina, where tar heels leading the pirates, 24-14. casey barth with a 28-yard field goal. north carolina has almost three times as many yards of offense as east carolina. outgaining them now, 302 to 101. this north carolina defense about as good as advertised. >> ray: they just fly around and get to the football. they have so many playmakers on that defense. and coach davis tells us, about a year away, he thinks. i tell you they're going to be scary coming down the road. >> pam: north carolina has a team, only has five senior starters. couple of them over on the defensive line. here is a squibler. picked up by dwayne harris. tackled down at the 25 yard line where east carolina tries to get its offense going against this stout north carolina defense. >> ray: let's look at some those defensive highlights from the first half. led mostly by the sophomore, robert quinn, number 42. he's been flying around making play after play. here he is with the sack. and he's picking up where he left off from last week. he's got five tackles for a loss. actually the carolina defense does. last week robert quinn was haled in the end zone, which forced the safety against uconn which proved to be the winning margin as they won, 12-10. >> pam: yeah, 12-0 going into the third. week one they beat the citadel 40-6. completion to alex taylor. a senior from greensboro, north carolina. picks up six yards. north carolina and its defense ranked in several categories across the nation. first two games only given up eight points for game. 14 so far. one of them on a short field and they continue to keep the yardage down. >> ray: allowing 3.4 yards per play thus far. 107 total yards. >> pam: second and four for east carolina. they've been without their starting running back, dominique lindsay all day. got hurt against west virginia. there is his replacement, brandon jackson, gets off the nice run. all the way down to the 43 yard line. picked up a dozen and a first down. >> ray: nice block there by kevin gidrey, the tight end, leading up on the linebacker creating some extra room for brandon jackson. >> pam: jackson started his collegiate career at kentucky. had to redshirt there. so he never played for them and then transferred closer to home, he's from greensboro. came back to east carolina. pinkney zips it. will get behind his intended receiver, joe womack. ball's incomplete. >> ray: and i believe charles brown got his hand on this at the end there and pulls it out. look at brown close in and reach in there and i believe he pulled in the hand of joe womack to break that thing up. that's a special talent that charles brown has. he's as good of a ball hawker as i've seen. already had a fumble recovery today. >> pam: nickel back last year and is a starting cornerback. a ball magnet. he's always around there. second and ten. charles brown makes another play. stopping brandon jackson after a one-yard gain. >> ray: great recognition by charles brown. he had man-to-man coverage. he ran off about three steps with the receiver. planted. came back. kept to contain the in/outside leverage and delivers in on the tackle. i think he's going to be an all-conference player this year for the tar heels. >> pam: a junior out of maple heights, ohio. very much improved over the last year and there you see a player shaken up. >> ray: five tackles on the day for brown to go along with his fumble recovery. >> pam: that's starting right tackle d.j. scott. 6'6", 323. there is the guy that we're talking about, charles brown, making his first year starting as a corner. third and nine and it gets loud again. tar heels only froush. a little dump down pass to jonathan williams, and he is tackled down about a yard short of the first down by tydreke powell. >> ray: and good hustle by powell, and although he almost jumped on billia ed oed on will pushed him enough for a first down but i think that you have to go for it if you are the pirates right now. i mean it's fourth and one. you're down ten. and you're a little man. you have to roll some dice. you have to take some chances and this is one. >> pam: just over midfield on the 48 of north carolina. jonathan williams in the bark field. he gets it. and he gets the first down. east carolina rolls the dice and they came up three as he got three yards and the first down. >> ray: good call by skip holtz to decide to go for this one. you know this is a situation where escathis game might be st to slip away from you. points on this drive or reestablish in in ball game or it's going to go away. >> pam: d.j. scott, number 66, right tackle, went off of the field a couple of plays ago, back in there for the pirates. pinkney taking the shot downfield for taylor. it bounces around. couple of guys had an opportunity. charles brown of course was down there by the football again. >> ray: i'm not sure who he was throwing to right there, whether it was taylor or his tight end, gidrey, because they both end up near the football. obviously going for gidrey. but -- i mean, taylor purpose. but you see gidrey, 45, he got a hand on that thing. that was one of those up for grab shots. just throw it up and hope. but i like it, you have to spread out that defense. you have it take more deep shots. just the third time today east carolina has tried to go downtown. >> pam: pinkney 9 for 16 for 58 yards and a touchdown. his deepest throw a 19-yarder. whistles before the play. >> referee: 15, offense. that's a five-yard penalty. >> pam: ron cherry, our referee today. he had excessive celebration penalties on our first two touchdowns and none since then. >> ray: got them under control early. >> pam: everyone's calmed down a little bit. east carolina led this game, 7-0 and then down 14-7. tied it up at 14 and new york knicks has scored the last ten points in the ball game. ten-point lead. the biggest of the game for either squad. second and 15 after the penalty. catch by joe womack. charles brown on the coverage and the tackle but it's only a three-yard gain. >> ray: this carolina defense rises up on third down situations. and if you look at what they've done so far this season, just allowing 13.8%. that's just an amazing number. and then today, 2 for 9 is what they've allowed in third down conversions. >> pam: which is actually 13.8%. still really good. >> ray: yeah. >> pam: four receivers in for east carolina on third and seven. pinkney has a man wide open and he hits him for the first down. that's dwayne harris, one of his favorite targets. caught that in front of melvin williams. >> ray: great job of picking up the blitz by the offensive line. you're going to see a comeoff block by number 75, cory dowless. that gave pinkney enough time to get rid of it. >> pam: he picked up a dozen. moved the chains. first down on the 31. this is the tenth play of this drive. coming up, harris who you just saw catch a patch and now he's in at quarterback in their wildcat formation. running all the way, but not far. he is dropped by tydreke powell, who put all 300 pounds on top of harris. outweighs him by about a hundred. >> ray: yeah. and that was the same play that he ran for the touchdown earlier, did harris. and north carolina says, no, you're not going to get that one again. they tried to cut tydreke powell. went down around his legs. he's just too quick. he got off of that and filled the hole. >> pam: east carolina in the wildcat this afternoon. four plays for 11 yards and a touchdown. that was the touchdown ray was referring to by harris earlier in the game. pinkney back in. the regular quarterback. steps up. has to pull it down. and he's taken down a couple of yards downfield by kevin reddick, that true freshman that east carolina recruited. number 4 will 8 in blue. but he wouldn't even take a visit to greenville. >> ray: you're going to have one, two, three guys only rush the passer. that means eight are dropping out on this one. and they've got everything covered. three deep across the top and then five underneath. that's max coverage and they still -- there was nowhere for pinkney to throw the football. >> pam: brings up a third and six. good throw. broken up. a flag is down. and it's against the pirates. >> referee: false start 66, offense. that's a five-yard penalty. >> ray: d.j. scott, i believe. >> pam: yep. >> ray: that's who they called it on. he's right here the big fellow right there. you're going to see him and he's going to move just a little bit early. so the snap didn't count. the good news for the pirates is they get another crack at third down here. >> pam: but it is third and 11. pinkney throws it. well short of the first down. completed to jamar bryant and that never had a chance. zach brown, a sophomore from columbia, maryland, made the stop only after a two-yard gain. >> ray: i think you kick a field goal here, pam. try to get points on the board. 47-yarder, there's abouts and trying to get something going. get this thing tied a bit. get this thing back it a one-score ball game. >> pam: hartman's career long kick is a 52-yarder against utep. and it's blocked! north carolina gets it right at the line and recovers at the 40. >> ray: and that's our guy, charles brown, who came around the edge and stuck a hand out, i believe, and got the block. north carolina stems the tide. >> pam: so they've bent but did not break on that drive. >> pam: north carolina preserves a ten-point lead over east carolina, thanks it a big special teams' play. >> ray: yeah, it was cam thomas, actually, who blocks this thing. i thought it was charles brown coming around the outside, but it's thomas. and you see him get up right here. big number 93, right in the middle there. he actually takes it into the armpit when he blocked that thing. >> pam: he didn't have to get up high at all. houston with the first down carry. gets a couple of yards. let's get an update from wendy nix. >> pam, thank you. a look at what's going on around our family of network. cal and minnesota, 21-14. 2:45 to play in the third quarter. that's -- espn. jahvid best has three touchdowns in this one and over on espnu, kentucky leading louisville, 17-13. >> pam: thank you, wendy. i think a lot of folks are going to be surprised that minnesota's so close to cal in the second half. >> ray: hanging in there at home. >> pam: beautiful new stadium that we all hope to see real soon. nice play to the outside by draughn. picked up the first down. >> ray: he's shown a real nice ability to bounce out. this a couple of times today we've seen draughn hit that gas pedal and bounce outside and make something happen and remember that strength in the end ujust can't get that guy down very easily. >> pam: 13 yards, six on the depth chart as a safety a couple of years ago. he was watching practice and he looked at the carolina running backs and thought, hey, i think that i still have it and he does as a running back. now their starter, another change of direction. got really close to his offensive lineman, greg elleby, picked up a yard. >> ray: draughn had over 1,400 yards as a senior in high school and he knows how to carry mail. he can get it out to the mailbox to you regardless. >> pam: from the same hometown as the great kelvin bryant who proudly wore number 44 here for the tails. >> ray: played against calvin in the old usffo days. >> pam: i was going to ask you how that went? >> ray: not so well. >> pam: from your perspective. seven yards rushing. 16 yards receiving and also a 34 yards on a pass that he threw. productich day for him. greg little with the first down catch. right in the middle of the field. gang tackled near the 33 yard line. >> ray: john shoop, the offensive coordinator, loves to run plays in series. we've seen this several times today where he's motioned elzy and then thrown to him in the flat. well, this time the defense reacts to the plat, they're going after elzy, and they forget about little in the middle. nice progressing on the play-calling series by coach shoop. >> pam: shoop has a lot of experience as an nfl assistant. low snap, nice job by yates. not only did he pick it up but he got it to ryan houston right in full stride and houston goes forward for nine yards. >> ray: you mentioned john shoop at the age of 31, was the offensive coordinator for the chicago bears. the youngest ever in the national football league. >> pam: that's him on the right with the carolina hat. you got to like this drive. he'll draw something back with we come back. on a road trip i map out the cheapest gas stations so i can save a few bucks, we can spend it on dog food, bags of it so we use a credit card that gives us cash back. it's always good to buy only solid colored wrapping paper, it's good for every occasion
