Shades of red in Big Blue, Sanders says

Posted Aug 2, 2006

Marvin Sanders is preparing for his second season as North Carolina's sole defensive coordinator after sharing those duties in 2004 with John Gutekunst, who now is assistant head coach and tight ends coach. "Coach Bunting is building a wall around the state of North Carolina," Sanders said. "There will be a couple who leak out. But we've found when they're from North Carolina, they're playing for a whole community and a whole state." (Omaha World-Herald)
