Brandon Tate Hard To Catch On Punts And Kickoffs

Posted Oct 3, 2008
UConn has a versatile standout in Darius Butler. The North Carolina Tar Heels have one, too. Brandon Tate has the records to prove it, and the senior wide receiver will be looking for more Saturday night when the Tar Heels host No. 24 UConn at Kenan Stadium. Coach Randy Edsall said the Huskies (5-0) haven't spent any more time than usual on kickoff and punt return coverage, but the respect for Tate is there. (Hartford Courant)
