Bowl workouts a benefit

Posted Dec 22, 2009
Win or lose Saturday against Pittsburgh in the Meineke Bowl, UNC coach Butch Davis said he already feels like the Tar Heels have been rewarded for their second straight bowl trip to Charlotte. "There's no substitute for those extra opportunities to practice," Davis said. The NCAA allows bowl teams up to 15 practices. For the 68 teams in the postseason, that's a head start on spring practice and the 2010 season the other 52 programs don't get. (Raleigh News & Observer)
