The outstanding performance of Brandon Tate, who is leading the nation in all-purpose yards with 308 per game, has affected the way defenses have to game plan against the Tar Heels. The extra defensive attention to Tate has benefited other members of the Carolina offense, including junior wideout Hakeem Nicks. "Brandon doing what he's doing has definitely taken some pressure off of me," Nicks said.
