Heels focus on the run
Posted Sep 9, 2009
North Carolina's second touchdown drive in Saturday's 40-6 win over The Citadel consisted of five running plays and one passing play. The 19th-ranked Tar Heels' lone touchdown drive of the second half consisted of 11 running plays and two passing plays. "We're trying to establish our identity as running team," right guard Alan Pelc said. So far, so good.
