Despite efforts, Bunting was center of attention

John Bunting did everything he could Saturday to put the spotlight on his players. But with a victory over N.C.

They drenched him in Gatorade after Kareen Taylor's clinching interception and carried him off the field after their 23-9 win at Kenan Stadium. (Durham Herald-Sun)
