Next in line: Elzy enters Tar Heels' mix of runners

Posted Oct 2, 2007

Anthony Elzy is the latest tailback to step into the mix for the North Carolina football team. He made good work of a short assignment. Entering the game in the fourth quarter Saturday at Virginia Tech, he rushed for 74 yards and emerged as the latest popular flavor in a crowded backfield. "We learned so much in that fourth quarter," Elzy said Monday. "Each week we're getting better." (Burlington Times News)
