Carolina misjudged where it was offensively

Posted Oct 6, 2009
Two weeks ago, UNC looked ready for a huge season. But now we know UNC’s victory over East Carolina Sept. 19 was a mirage. Coach Butch Davis said as much Monday. Davis explained at length at his news conference that the Tar Heels needed to simplify their approach, that the new plays they put in for Virginia didn’t work. A plan, Davis said, isn’t effective if the players aren’t ready to execute it. (WRAL Sports Fan)
