Extra Points: Parsing The Positions
Posted Aug 28, 2006
The template for the 2006 Tar Heel football team is not complicated: Ride a solid defense and kicking game to early season stability while the offense finds its sea legs. The defense is populated with enough older players to provide cohesion while two newcomers at middle linebacker and free safety develop. The experienced and talented legs of Connor Barth and David Wooldridge will provide some points and help control field position, and return specialist Brandon Tate is an explosive force.
