Plenty at stake in new era of rivalry
Posted Nov 10, 2007
First-year ACC coaches Butch Davis and Tom O'Brien will bring something to today's UNC-N.C. State rivalry that their predecessors, John Bunting and Chuck Amato, never managed: a high regard for each other. The two remain friendly after coaching against each other in the Big East, when Davis' Miami Hurricanes beat O'Brien's Boston College Eagles four times from 1997-2000.
