Greg Little boosts ground game for Tar Heels

Posted Nov 20, 2007

The answer to UNC’s problems at running back this season may have been answered last Saturday by a wide receiver. Freshman receiver Greg Little provided a boost to UNC’s inconsistent running game by churning out 89 yards on 24 carries in the 27-25 loss at Georgia Tech. "His runs after contact were something that was very apparent," Tar Heel coach Butch Davis said Monday. (Fayetteville Observer)
