Big names, bigger hopes

Posted Aug 31, 2007

Tar Heels blue will be green this season. There are just six seniors on the two-deep roster and just 16 upperclassmen, including nine on defense. Redshirt freshman T.J. Yates will start at quarterback. A sophomore and two freshmen make up the Tar Heels' top three running backs. The offensive line might be the most experienced part of the team with three juniors and two sophomores. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
