ACC Roundup - Week 1

Posted Sep 4, 2007

The Tar Heels got up so quickly on James Madison that it seemed like the team went on autopilot. The running game had to show more than it was able to, only netting 100 yards, but T.J. Yates did a great job of opening things up through the air. He needs to do more on third downs, and he needs more help from the running game. Next week will be a good test against a strong East Carolina defensive line. (College Football News)
