Tar Heels turn to a receiver to get ground game going
Posted Nov 20, 2007
Greg Little came to UNC as a touted athlete who seemed best suited to play wide receiver. That is, until offensive coordinator John Shoop asked him to take a turn at tailback last week. "I thought he meant for a couple of plays," Little said. It turned out that the coaching staff was hoping for a lot more. Little got the start and ran for 89 yards at Georgia Tech, making him the latest in a revolving door of ball carriers.
