UNC offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino detailed his philosophy on running backs, and the message was clear: pass protection comes before everything else. Petrino said that a deep and versatile group gives him a foundation for what he wants to build. He likes to divide carries among several players because running backs give or take a lot of hits.
