Tar Heels hoping new starting QB equals win against Paladins

Posted Sep 16, 2006

North Carolina came into the season touting a "New Blue,'' a slogan meant to indicate clear progress in coach John Bunting's sixth season at his alma mater. But after two games, the new has looked a lot like the old inconsistent offense, iffy defense and plenty of mistakes along the way. And that's given the Tar Heels yet another early must-win as they head into Saturday's game against Division I-AA Furman. (Access North Georgia)
