Butch Davis: Tar Heels' ground game 'terrible'

Posted Sep 27, 2009
A lot of progress as been made since Butch Davis took over for John Bunting as North Carolina coach, but one thing hasn't changed. The Tar Heels still can't win an ACC opener. UNC lost its first conference game in each of Bunting's six seasons and the Tar Heels are now 0-3 under Davis after being dominated in a 24-7 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
