Butch Davis feels there is plenty of positive momentum with the Tar Heel program at the end of his third season at the helm given the back-to-back bowl games—-the first time in more than a decade that’s happened—-and the first back-to-back eight-win or better seasons since 1996 and 1997. That, along with the expansion plans for Kenan Stadium and the success they’ve had in recruiting, Davis has plenty of optimism for the future.
