period as the Tigers improved to 3 0 1 In the two previous seasons Burg er was in the backfield with Heis man Trophy winner Bo Jackson and last season with Brent ullwood He said he was virtually a spectator each year been in an offense where all I did was turn around and pitch the ball to Bo and Brent and not do any Burger said really like being involved as much as I am and having a little control out Burger said the game took on added meaning after the 20 20 tie with Tennessee last weekend He got hot in the second half and Auburn took advantage kept thinking that our whole season was on the he said had to do what was nec essary to win this game Auburn Coach Pat Dye whose two previous visits to Chapel Hill re sulted in a loss and a tie while he was coach at East Carolina said he chal lenged his team before the game and again at halftime when the game was tied 3 3 think you could sense that we were a different team in the second Dye said players have a lot of pride and they know what it takes to win a football Turnovers haunted the Tar Heels especially in the second half when the Tigers were trying to hold their lead extremely disappointed We played North Carolina Coach Dick Crum said you just can't turn the ball over four times and have your field goal team go to pot We had great opportunities and should have taken advantage of North Carolina took a 10 3 lead at 7:18 of the third quarter when de fensive tackle Tim Goad blocked Brian attempted punt and Norris Davis ran six yards for a touchdown after picking up the loose ball It took Burger and Auburn six

Auburn Coach Pat Dye learned that tough as hell to come to Chapel Hill and beat Caroli na" Dye responded to a question af ter his Tigers boosted their record to 3 0 1 Although it was the first meeting between Auburn and Carolina since 1901 Dye is more than a little famil with football here Dye who coached six years at East Carolina was 1 2 1 against Carolina Auburn was able to remain un beatejp because North Carolina could never mount any type of ground attack key for them was they run the said Dye whose team held the Tar Heels to 137 yards rushing Reserve tailback Eric Starr shar ing duty

yesterday one coming in the end zone after Carolina had driven to the Auburn seven Carolina failed to convert two oth er opportunities as Miller missed from 29 and 40 yards had great opportunities and should have taken advantage of Crum said defense accounted for its touchdown as strong safety Norris Davis scored from six yards out on a blocked punt End Tim Goad who played his prep ball al Patrick Coun ty Va was creditedwith the block Senior inside linebacker Kurt Crain was the only reason defense may have held an overall edge Crain well traveled after playing at Memphis State before transfer ring to Auburn had 15 tackles five assists two interceptions and 2V quarterback sacks could talk about Crain all said Dye was simply outstand It was not the first outstanding game Crain has had against the Tar Heels llis best game when he played for Memphis State came against Carolina making 13 tackles in the 1984 season Crain who picked off the pass in the end zone in the first half said the Tigers made some adjustments at the break knew we had to get more pressure on their the 6 2 228 pound all conference pick said went to a lot of man cover age in the second half my man stayed in to block I could rush I think I got to him (Maye) a couple times because he didn't see Crain said The defensive standout said Maye didn't see him on the interception in the end zone His second theft which set up go ahead touch down was underthrown Dye had his defenders prepared for the game according to Crain told us this was a touch place to play have to make our own Crain said "It was a strange game because of the mo memlum shifts would be moving the ball and have a penalty and get a first down and have it called the linebacker said of the 179 yards in penalties marched off by the split of ficiating crew was a physical game and any time in one you kind of expect tempers to Some of the Carolina faithful got hot in the second half after Crum twice called a draw play on third and long Neither one came close to get ting enough yardage for a first down were killing Mark If you let them tee off and come we going to have a quarterback next week You have to do something to take the heat
