Tar Heels armed with a new QB

Posted Aug 28, 2005

North Carolina wide receiver Jarwarski Pollock says he has been sprinting more than ever in preseason football practices to catch up to new quarterback Matt Baker's long throws, providing a hint of at least one potential shift in UNC's offense. "He throws it much harder than [Darian] Durant did; that's why we're going to go downfield a little bit more," Pollock said, grinning at the thought. (Raleigh News & Observer)
