Heels seek a Little momentum

Posted Nov 20, 2007

UNC freshman Greg Little has played only one game at running back during his college career, but it is clear he understands one of the position's most valuable rules. "The protections were the key thing, not to get (quarterback) T.J. Yates killed," said Little, who made his first start at the position Saturday in the Tar Heels' 27-25 loss at Georgia Tech. Yates survived and Little breathed a little life into the struggling Tar Heels rushing attack. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
