Tar Heels offense will be on the run

Posted Jul 12, 2009
T.J. Yates can do the math on North Carolina’s personnel on offense. The top three receivers are gone and the top three rushers return. Add in nine returning starters on defense, plus the kicker, and the Tar Heels might have to win with defense first, the running game second and Yates’ arm third. "I don’t care if we run the ball a million times," UNC’s junior quarterback said. "As long as we’re winning." (Charlotte Observer)
