Fedora: Tar Heels need more depth

Posted Apr 26, 2012
North Carolina coach Larry Fedora changed the formations and the pace of play during spring practices, but one thing he couldn’t adjust was the roster. As a result, the first-year coach might not be able to unveil his entire playbook this fall because of the team’s lack of depth at receiver. “We’re in a system where we’ll be in at least three wide receivers on the field the majority of the time."
