Bulls DBs take air out of Heels

North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks boasted that no secondary in the nation could stop the Tar Heels passing attack, telling the Raleigh News & Observer, "Just be ready. Because we're coming." When the Tar Heels came to No. 23 South Florida, the Bulls were determined to prove they were ready and used those comments as motivation. (St. Petersburg Times)
