And now it looks as if it...

Oh, and a big thank you to Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes [...]

When Erik Highsmith began his career at North Carolina, he didn't want jersey No. 88. For the past three years, Hakeem Nicks, a first-round draft pick by the New York Giants who owns multiple UNC receiving records, wore that number. But the coaching staff gave No. 88 to Highsmith anyway, and Saturday against East Carolina the true freshman did his best to live up to the jersey's history.
