Blue Blur: UNC's Tate a nightmare for defenders

Posted Sep 17, 2008
Blinking isn't advisable when UNC's Brandon Tate has his hands on the football. That split second is about all the time that Tate has needed to get open for big gains or touchdowns in UNC's first two games. Tate, a receiver and return specialist, has scored four touchdowns on three types of plays. He has shattered the school record for all-purpose yards and is closing in on two NCAA records for career return yards. (Winston-Salem Journal)
