Lucas: Brandon Tate Injury About More Than Offense

Posted Oct 13, 2008
Brandon Tate's All-America campaign was to begin on Monday. His Carolina career ended on Saturday. In many ways, the loss of the senior wide receiver to a torn ACL is the most disappointing Tar Heel football injury since Ronald Curry tore his Achilles. Sure, it costs the Carolina offense its most dynamic big-play threat, a key component of the unit's best position group, and a quick-strike special teams weapon. It costs Tate much more than that.
