North Carolina a big play team

Posted Oct 7, 2008
The Tar Heels enter Saturday’s game 4-1 on the season. Like the Irish, this Tar Heel team is a young but talented group that makes a lot of big plays, but also can make some mistakes along the way. What can we expect from North Carolina on Saturday? The Tar Heels have an explosive offense with some outstanding speed at wide receiver. They don’t put together many sustained drives, but their athletes make a lot of big plays. (Irish Eyes)
