Greg Little to start at tailback for UNC

Posted Mar 4, 2008

Coach Butch Davis wants to get away from the running back by committee approach, and that means Greg Little is settled as a full-time starter at North Carolina. The Tar Heels, who began spring practice Monday, used three tailback starters during the 2007 season and settled on Little for the final two games. He rushed for 154 yards and the winning touchdown in the finale against Duke. (Charlotte Observer)
