North Carolina Tar Heels Preview 2006

Posted May 4, 2006

This year's team should even out on both sides with the defense taking a little but of a slide, but not much of one, while the offense should be better than 105th in the nation in scoring and 103rd in total offense despite having only five starters returning. The key to the team's success will be the steady play of the running backs. Ronnie McGill and Barrington Edwards form a tremendous 1-2 punch, but they have to prove they can be on the field for a full season. (College Football News)
