Tar Heels seeing benefits of revised offensive scheme

Posted Oct 8, 2009
Butch Davis announced Monday that the Tar Heels are going back to the basics. For the offensive line, that means returning to simple running schemes that have worked in the past and making the plays less complicated. "We started to think too much and tried to scheme too much towards the defense," said left tackle Kyle Jolly, who said he plans to play Saturday despite spraining his ankle against Virginia.
