Previewing UConn At North Carolina

Posted Oct 4, 2008
What To Look For: Whether the Tar Heels can slow Donald Brown. They give up almost 140 yards a game rushing, but they're big up front. Louisville had size and speed up front, and Brown broke for 190 yards on 33 carries. North Carolina coach Butch Davis is clearly concerned about him, but his defense hadn't allowed a 100-yard rusher until Graig Cooper gained 110 on 19 carries for Miami last week. (Hartford Courant)
