Tar Heels Searching For Backfield Depth

Posted Aug 4, 2008

After not having a clear starting running back last season, Carolina hopes Greg Little's emergence as a tailback against Georgia Tech and Duke last year will translate into a more productive and efficient backfield in 2008. But Butch Davis knows that all the responsibility can't be placed on Little's shoulders. "Greg Little has two games as a running back under his belt and I think everybody is extraordinarily excited about the potential and the possibility, but he's still got a long way to go," Davis said.
