12 Days of ACC Football - North Carolina
Aug. 13, 2008
In preparation for the 2008 football season, the Atlantic Coast Conference will unveil the 12 Days of ACC Football beginning on August 4. Each day, a new team's preview, preseason video, and preseason information will be unveiled on theACC.com. North Carolina was the youngest team in the ACC last season. In all, 28 freshmen or red-shirt freshmen saw game action with many of them in starting roles. Head coach Butch Davis' first season saw his Tar Heels finish 4-8 but six losses were by a touchdown or less. The freshmen have added maturity and strength and for that reason many are picking North Carolina to be the sleeper team in the league in 2008. Everything is much more comfortable in Davis' second season. "I give our players, the ones that I inherited a lot of credit. They bought in instantly to what we were doing. It didn't take much persuasion by me or our coaching staff."
