Extra Points: Journey Begins For 2006 Tar Heels

Posted Apr 11, 2006

Two plays during the Tar Heels' month of spring practice provided Exhibits A and B for the speed, effort and heart that will help provide the foundation for the 2006 Carolina football season. Kentwan Balmer began on the back side of one snap but ran down a wide receiver across the field and made the tackle. Larry Edwards bit on a play-action fake on another. Nonplused, he wheeled, sprinted downfield and swatted the football to the ground. (Tar Heel Blue)
