Heels must find ways to cash in more often than their opponents
Posted Sep 14, 2005
Matt Baker, even with three picks, wasn't bad in his debut. But as Bunting said: "We need to catch the ball when it touches their hands, and we've got to make plays." Translation: Dave Brock, you paying attention? Brock, in his first season as UNC's wide receivers coach, knows the Heels caught 18 of Baker's 39 passes, and Jarwarski Pollock and Derrele Mitchell had touchdown receptions. But if Bunting wasn't sending a message about wanting more consistent effort from his wide receivers, he sure fooled one sports writer.
