Tar Heels better suited than 'Pack to handle loss of quarterback
Posted Sep 24, 2008
Two teams. Two quarterbacks. Two injuries. One dilemma. So what do North Carolina's Butch Davis and N.C. State's Tom O'Brien do now? And how will the loss of their respective field leaders - T.J. Yates and Russell Wilson - affect their respective teams for the immediate future? The answers are much more definitive for the Tar Heels. At least Davis has a former high school All-America in Mike Paulus and plenty of other offensive weapons.
