Greg Little settles Tar Heels’ backfield
Posted Nov 20, 2007
When UNC offensive coordinator John Shoop pitched the idea of playing running back to Tar Heels receiver Greg Little, the Durham freshman quickly accepted. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Little may not have the look of a prototypical running back, but after a few weeks of being used in a variety of spots, getting a few snaps in the backfield wouldn’t be too much of a chore. “I thought he meant for a couple of plays,” Little said.
