John Bunting Deserves Credit

Posted Sep 25, 2005

Plain and simple, it's about time to start giving some major props to John Bunting. Wins like the one Saturday at arch-rival North Carolina State have happened too many times in less than five seasons to lump them into one big pile of coincidences. By my count, North Carolina's 31-24 victory at Carter-Finley Stadium marks the sixth time a Bunting-led team has pulled off something it really had no business pulling off - a victory during difficult times.
