Tar Heel Football adjusting to some changes

Posted Apr 18, 2009
North Carolina dealt with major changes in its third spring football practice under Coach Butch Davis. The Tar Heels started to rebuild their receiving corps, and three new assistant coaches started to get acclimated to their jobs. Davis was pleased with the progress but sees more work ahead in summer practice if UNC is to match last year's 8-4 regular-season record and contend for another bowl bid. Spring drills ended March 28. (Winston-Salem Journal)
