Davis not sure what to expect in Saturday's game

Posted Aug 28, 2007

The Butch Davis era at North Carolina will begin on Saturday in front of what is expected to be a rare sellout crowd at Kenan Stadium. Beyond that little is certain for the first UNC team that Davis will lead onto the field. UNC will have one of the youngest teams in college football to begin rebuilding after last season’s 3-9 season. At least 12 first-time starters could be in the lineup against James Madison.
