Bunting readies for finale at Kenan

Posted Nov 18, 2006

John Bunting has a lot of memories of Kenan Stadium. Fired after his team's sluggish start to the season, the former team captain and star linebacker coaches his final home game Saturday when his Tar Heels take on N.C. State in a matchup of struggling programs. Now that Bunting will be handing over his beloved program to new coach Butch Davis after next Saturday's game against Duke, what better way to walk off the home field one last time than after a victory over North Carolina's biggest rival?
