Lucas: Quality QBs Key For Butch Davis

Posted Nov 3, 2008
This season, Butch Davis has experienced a few potentially program-defining victories, including the last-second win at Miami and the home victory over Notre Dame. But as Davis and his coaching staff evaluated the Tar Heels during the bye week, they already know the program-defining position on the field: quarterback. As far back as his days as an assistant coach at Oklahoma State, Davis's best teams have always been typified by the starting quarterback. (Tar Heel Blue)
