If not for Pat White having possibly his best game ever (at least passing), North Carolina's Hakeem Nicks would have been the Meineke Car Care Bowl MVP Saturday. He had three play-of-the-day type touchdown catches for the Tar Heels, and potential ESPY nominee, first-down catch.
This was probably Nicks' final game as a Tar Heel since he should leave early for the NFL. While Nicks' performance against West Virginia in Charlotte wasn't enough to get past the Mountaineers (thanks to White's fourth-quarter TD pass to Alric Arnett), his one-man show should equate to millions more and possibly a late first round selection in the NFL Draft in April.
Not sold? Watch this nifty behind the back, one-handed grab for a first down.
