Bunting would like to see RB stand up

Posted Sep 12, 2005

John Bunting doesn't put a lot of stock in who wears the title of starting tailback, but the North Carolina coach would nevertheless like to see one of his relatively untested runners seize the role. LSU transfer Barrington Edwards had been listed as the No. 1 running back throughout preseason. It was true freshman James "Cooter" Arnold who got the start Saturday in the season opener at Georgia Tech. (Greensboro News & Record)
