[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 812197, member: 4015"] Of course by 1999, Hamilton had left those stats in the dust. During the course of his Heisman campaign, Joe led Tech to a number 8 ranking, and at the time of the UNC game, Tech was averaging over 500 yards a game good for #1 in the country, well over 250 yards per game rushing good for #7 in the country and over 40 points per game good for #1 in the country. Alas, the homecoming game that year against UNC was almost a disaster. Six turnovers with Hamilton responsible for 4 of them including 2 interceptions. A much derided UNC team with a defense at the bottom of the ACC managed to stifle Hamilton for a while. UNC was ahead 24-21 in the fourth quarter with about 2 minutes to play on the Tech 3 yard line and Torbush decides to go for the TD on fourth down. The 245lb fullback is stuffed. Hamilton drives Tech down to the 18 yard line or thereabouts and Manget who had missed two earlier field goals ties the game up and Hamilton becomes the hero in true storybook fashion with a TD in OT to win. He still did not get the Heisman. [/QUOTE]
