Posted Feb 3, 2010
North Carolina and head coach Butch Davis have ties to several players in Super Bowl XLIV between New Orleans and Indianapolis. For starters, former UNC standout Jeff Saturday will be going for his second Super Bowl title in the last four years. Saturday, who lettered four seasons at UNC from 1994-97, earned his fourth Pro Bowl honor this season, and is the unquestioned leader on the Colts' offensive line. (Tar Heel Blue)
