Bunting: QB is 'tougher than nails,' but equipment change should help

Posted Sep 21, 2005

As he does each week, John Bunting ate dinner with his captains Monday night. The North Carolina football coach especially enjoyed the demeanor of one of the players at the table, quarterback Matt Baker. "He's tougher than nails," Bunting said. "There was a big smile on his face yesterday. He's anxious to get back into the thick." (Durham Herald-Sun)
