Darwin Barlow knows North Carolina’s offense now. That wasn’t entirely the case in the spring, he admits, and it made for a tough adjustment for the veteran running back after transferring from Southern Cal to UNC last winter. The Tar Heels' ground attack is more downfield, whereas the Trojans were more lateral, as was TCU where Barlow started. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
