Greg Little puts spin on drops

Posted Sep 6, 2009
Most wide receivers like to forget about the ones that dropped, bobbled and bounced away. Not UNC's Greg Little. The junior instead used his own early drop -- as well as a half-dozen total bobbles by the Tar Heels' young corps of receivers -- as motivation. He finished with two catches for 31 yards and a touchdown during UNC's season-opening 40-6 victory over The Citadel. (Raleigh News & Observer)
