Lucas: Man On The Move

Posted Aug 8, 2008

Some players see serving time on the scout team as a punishment. For others, it's an opportunity. That's the approach taken by Cooter Arnold last fall when he returned from an early-season suspension. The depth chart had already taken shape in his absence, so he was limited to special teams duties and a scout role. Arnold also found a way to make the coaches notice on the scout squad, where he saw time at tailback for the first time since his freshman season. (Tar Heel Blue)
