UNC Spring Football practice begins today

Posted Mar 19, 2007

This will be new coach Butch Davis' first real chance to evaluate the talent he inherited from John Bunting -- and to start implementing his own system. With the graduation of Ronnie McGill and the indefinite suspension of Barrington Edwards, the Tar Heels will be looking for a new starting running back. In addition, senior quarterback Joe Dailey, a part-time starter last season, will practice both at quarterback and at wide receiver. (Raleigh News & Observer)
