Posted Nov 28, 2005

The Tar Heels finished 5-6, a game worse than last season, when they went to a bowl game, but wins and losses don't tell the whole story. UNC played one of the toughest schedules in the nation and in many ways was a better team than last season, showing vast improvement on defense. But the progress UNC coach John Bunting was most proud of was in his team's attitude. (Durham Herald-Sun)
