Tar Heels thankful for extra time to prepare for Ga. Tech

Posted Nov 4, 2008
Georgia Tech's new wishbone offense, which has chewed up a league-high 242.3 yards per game, has puzzled opposing defenses this season. First-year coach Paul Johnson has brought his trademark scheme to a league that hasn't seen a similar attack in several years. But when No. 19 North Carolina squares off against the No. 22 Yellow Jackets on Saturday in a key ACC tilt, the Tar Heels will have one advantage not every team gets. An extra week.
