Countdown to Kickoff: Calling for Backup

Posted Aug 20, 2005

John Bunting goes to Maine every summer to relax. The trip produces a rested Tar Heel head coach who is excited and recharged for the upcoming season. Occasionally, it also produces a quarterback. Bunting's cabin in Maine is approximately 20 minutes from Bridgton Academy, a prep school in North Bridgton where Joey Bozich was planning to enroll in August of 2004. (Tar Heel Blue)
