Arnold gets chance to star in UNC defensive backfield

Posted Aug 10, 2006

In an instant yesterday morning, Cooter Arnold showed the game-changing ability he can provide for North Carolina. Cameron Sexton dropped back to pass and saw Brandon Tate breaking open down the right side. Tate was open when Sexton passed, but Arnold rushed over from the left side, leaped high to intercept and held on to the ball after slamming down to the turf. (Winston-Salem Journal)
