Tar Heels hungry for more

Posted Sep 4, 2007

An opening-night victory was a nice accomplishment, but it’s far from putting North Carolina at the destination where coach Butch Davis wants to go. So he had put the outcome from his debut with the Tar Heels in his back pocket by Monday, when he focused his attention on Saturday night’s visit to East Carolina. The Tar Heels were encouraged by redshirt freshman quarterback T.J Yates’ performance in the 37-14 pummeling of James Madison. (Burlington Times News)
