Davis, Tar Heels praise record-setting Tate
Posted Sep 29, 2008
After UNC's dramatic victory over Miami on Saturday, the media swarmed Cameron Sexton to talk about his big day, allowing Brandon Tate to slip away after a lonely minute or two. Lost in the excitement of the Tar Heels' win and Sexton's re-emergence was the fact Tate set the NCAA record for combined kickoff return yards. When asked where Tate ranks in terms of return men that he's coached, UNC coach Butch Davis said Tate's near the top of the list.
