Season turns on a single day

Posted Nov 22, 2006

The next best thing to keeping one’s job as a head coach is going out a winner. John Bunting will have the opportunity to do that on Saturday at noon at Wallace Wade Stadium in the final regular-season football game for both the University of North Carolina and Duke. “We’re going to focus on Duke; we’re going to focus on players; we’re going to prepare for this game,” Bunting said, eschewing thoughts about his impending departure.
