Lucas: Offseason Football Notebook
Posted Jan 23, 2009
As promised, the Tar Heels used part of bowl preparation to take an early glimpse at young players who might have an impact in 2009 and beyond. Carolina held three scrimmages during bowl practice, and some young players used the opportunity to provide some eye-opening results. "Dwight Jones made some very significant plays," Butch Davis said. "In every one of those three scrimmages, he made at least one big play."
