The Tarheels

kinda like "injuries" and the cow college fans

 

what took you so long?

 

No but he has said over and over that he expects his players to compete at every position, so it just stands to reason that Renner will have every opportunity to win the job. Whoever wins the job though, I expect this offense to be better, because the O-line will be better and those young WR's all have a whole season under their belts now.

Honestly, I don't understand why people expected so much from the UNC offense this past season anyway. You don't lose guys like Hakeem Nicks and Brandon Tate, replace them with with kids straight out of HS, and not miss a beat. Anybody with any common sense should have known that they were going to struggle, especially after all the attrition of so many experienced O-linemen, before the season even started.

 

They were young. Wait 'til next year.

 

Every program in the nation is saying that, except for Alabama.

A 2010-2011 College Football Sleeper to Win the Title: North Carolina (and its Stacked Defense)


Florida was the biggest loser at the NFL early-entry deadline, losing three key defensive underclassmen to the pros. Georgia Tech, Georgia and USC also lost key juniors from what could have been very good defenses. The biggest winner? North Carolina, which already had the country’s sixth best defense, and managed to retain studs on the line, at linebacker and the in the secondary.

According to Scout, Butch Davis and the Tar Heels have the top NFL prospect at defensive end (Robert Quinn), defensive tackle (Marvin Austin), outside linebacker (Bruce Carter), and free safety (Deunta Williams). They’ve got the 2nd best inside linebacker prospect (Quan Sturdivant) as well as cornerback (Kendrick Burney). That means there’s an outside chance that six Tar Heel defensive players are taken in the first two rounds of the 2011 draft.

The offense will remain something of a question, despite the return of its quarterback, top two running backs, top receiver (highly-routed pro prospect Greg Little). Three offensive lineman return.

Everyone will find out how good UNC is early – the Tar Heels play LSU in September. Do what we just did – go plunk $20 down on UNC to win the title next year. You can probably get the Tar Heels at +10,000, for a payout of 2k. [Scout]
