Ready to learn from tough lessons

Posted Jul 23, 2008

North Carolina football coaches and players hope a year's experience and more talent will equate to a bowl game in 2008. The Tar Heels, one of the youngest teams in the country in 2007, are deeper, more talented, than a year ago. Factor that in with the hard lessons learned by a team that lost six games by 24 points a year ago, and there should be some gains made, said Hakeem Nicks. (Chapel Hill News)
