North Carolina's running backs leave something to be desired
Posted Aug 31, 2007
Butch Davis has been very clear about his running backs – he hopes to one day find one. Until someone steps up, the Tar Heels offense will struggle to keep defenses honest. A smart, ambitious defensive coordinator will put six men in the box to stop the run and use the other five to defend the pass. These running backs will not hurt you, nor will rookie quarterback T.J. Yates.
