Turnovers have Davis seeing red

Posted Sep 21, 2008
To say that coach Butch Davis was unhappy with North Carolina's two lost fumbles during its 20-17 loss to Virginia Tech on Saturday would be an understatement. "Any skill player, whether it's a receiver, tight end, quarterback or running back, the No. 1 criterion to be a good player is ball security," he said. "I don't care whether you run a 4.2 or if you run for 200 yards, if you put the ball on the ground, you can't play. That's the bottom line." (Raleigh News & Observer)
