Butch Davis brings Heels back from grave

Posted Nov 5, 2008
The program that went 47-71 in 10 seasons following Mack Brown’s exit for Texas enters Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech ranked No. 19 in the BCS, highest of any ACC team. At 6-2, they’re on the verge of their first winning season in seven years. Every home game is sold out. Remarkably, it’s November and Davis has Tar Heels fans still thinking about football instead of basketball. It all starts with recruiting. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
