UNC leery of Connecticut's ability to run

Posted Sep 10, 2009
UNC coach Butch Davis isn’t underestimating UConn’s running game just because the Huskies lost leading rusher and first-round NFL draft pick Donald Brown, who had 2,083 yards last year. In fact, he might be giving them even more respect. “They’ve got two young men who are very, very talented and probably possess more home run hitting ability than maybe Don Brown did,” Davis said.
