Donnan still has Carolina in his mind

Posted May 18, 2010

Dooley's '76 and '77 teams went 17-6-1 and 9-1-1 in the ACC at a time when Duke and State combined to record non-league wins at Tennessee, Miami and Auburn and ECU's option offense under Pat Dye was among the most explosive in the country.
