At ACC Kickoff, John Bunting shed a little light into who he expects to pick up the slack for the Tar Heels, which finished fourth in ACC last season with 176.2 rushing yards per game. Matt Baker will still have four proven starters returning on the offensive line, as well as plenty of experienced receivers to throw to. But with Ronnie McGill unavailable, and Chad Scott and Jacque Lewis departed, finding the bodies to carry the ball will be a major focus once camp begins Aug. 12. (Inside Carolina)
