ACC Fearless Predictions, Week 3

Posted Sep 14, 2006

The Tar Heels can’t look as bad as they did last week against Virginia Tech, can they? To avoid a repeat, newly appointed starting QB Cam Sexton has to turn around, hand the ball to RB Ronnie McGill and Barrington Edwards, build confidence in the running game, and take pressure off of the passing game. If the Heels jump to a lead and Furman QB Renaldo Gray has to throw the ball consistently, the UNC secondary is good enough to make the youngster pay for any indiscretions. (Inside Carolina)
