For some schools, it just takes time.
Everyone knew that North Carolina was good. The Tar Heels showed that in flashes during the early season.
But it took until Christmas before they truly found themselves.
North Carolina destroyed Nicholls State (which is to be expected) and then dismantled Texas to the tune of 20 points.

In probably the last bowl game the North Carolina Tar Heels play for a few seasons, they decided to begin their punishment today.

That was strange. The 2011 Advocare V-100 Independence Bowl didn't go well for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Spurred by a streak of 31 straight points, Missouri rolled over Carolina for a 41-24 win. But the game itself was just the capper on a set of unusual circumstances.
