Butch Davis says Tar Heels need to add talent

Posted Oct 29, 2007

North Carolina will need at least one more outstanding recruiting class to fortify its football program and become competitive in the ACC, in the judgment of Coach Butch Davis. Almost all of UNC’s weaknesses were exposed and exploited Saturday by Wake Forest in a 37-10 setback at BB&T Field. Davis said that UNC doesn’t have the proper depth at certain positions to overcome its growing problems against more-experienced teams. (Winston-Salem Journal)
