Taylor just happy to be on the field for UNC

Posted Sep 7, 2006

Ryan Taylor sped down the Kenan Stadium field last Saturday and ran into a Rutgers player and suddenly everything was back to normal. Two sometimes anxious days were over for Taylor, a receiver from Winston-Salem, and his North Carolina career was under way on the opening kickoff of his first season. There were only two freshmen on UNC's kickoff coverage team, and Taylor was one of them. (Winston-Salem Journal)
