Tate's big plays spark Tar Heels to unbeaten start

Posted Sep 18, 2008
Brandon Tate has a simple philosophy when he gets his hands on the football. There's no room for a safe 4-yard reception or calling fair catch on a punt to avoid a hard hit from an oncoming defender. "My whole mentality is every time I get the ball, I'm trying to score no matter what play it is," Tate said, "because I don't know when the next time the coaches are going to call my number."
