Football preview: Davis embraces Tar Heels' high expectations
Posted Aug 28, 2008
Even though UNC has won only 16 games the last four seasons, the Tar Heels were picked to finish second in the ACC's Coastal Division, trailing only Virginia Tech in the preseason poll. Part of that is because UNC has a talented nucleus in Hakeem Nicks, Greg Little, T.J. Yates, Marvin Austin, Deunta Williams and Kendric Burney. And part of that is because of Davis, who doesn't want his players to shy away from the expectations.
