Heels likely to open up against Bucs

Posted Sep 6, 2007

Unlike Michigan, UNC avoided the potential embarrassment of opening the season at home with a loss to a Football Championship Subdivision power. The Tar Heels took care of business in a 37-14 win over James Madison. The Dukes held a 15-14 edge in first downs and led 150-100 in rushing yardage as the Heels showed as little as possible of their offensive package under new coach Butch Davis coming into this Saturday's 6 p.m. kickoff at East Carolina.
