UNC coach Butch Davis addresses injuries

Posted Sep 16, 2009
UNC isn't going to make any dramatic adjustments to its offense this week against ECU, Butch Davis said, despite numerous injuries to key starters, including tight end Zack Pianalto and center Lowell Dyer. Both are expected to miss three to four weeks, and considering how thin the Heels' offensive line was to begin with, this situation obviously doesn't help. Still, Davis said it would be worse to try to "recreate the wheel in three day's practice." (ESPN.com)
