Tar Heels seek new ways to free Johnsons vs SMU
North Carolina coach Mack Brown says the Tar Heels will test new schemes to get tailbacks Leon and Curtis Johnson more open after three games. QB Jason Stanicek has run more than both despite the Johnsons’ 1000 yard seasons last year, with injuries and defense pressuring gaps. The 2-1 Tar Heels prepare for SMU as Brown notes adjustments to create one on one opportunities.

Officials faulted in UNC FSU game pass call controversy
ACC head official reviewer Bradley Faircloth concluded a Tar Heel fumble by Octavus Barnes deep in Seminole territory was an incomplete pass. The miscall could have produced a UNC touchdown narrowing the Florida State lead. The same crew erred earlier in Arizona Georgia Tech. Coach Mack Brown said the ruling closed the issue for him.

Duke Faces Navy In Test Of Aerial And Ground Attacks
Duke coach Fred Goldsmith warns Navy presents a balanced threat with a 236 yard per game passing attack and a stout defense.
