Tar Heels move Little to RB

Had North Carolina switched Greg Little from wideout to tailback earlier last season, coach Butch Davis said recently, the Tar Heels might have had a better shot of making a bowl. So now that the sophomore from Durham is entrenched as the top running back in training camp, UNC's coaches are concentrating on finding Nos. 2, 3 and 4 -- because they don't want to make the same mistake again. "There is no way in the world we will make it through this season with just the significant contributions by one running back," Davis said Friday, roughly two hours before the Tar Heels took the field for their first practice of the 2008 season. "We have to have Ryan Houston play well. We've got to have Devon Ramsay. We've got to have Jamal Womble." Indeed, Davis said one of the biggest keys to turning last year's 4-8 finish into Carolina's first winning season since 2001 is building depth in the backfield -- and beyond.

Not all stories need be headline grabbers.

Coach Davis rebuilding the program at Carolina would be a big boost to the ACC. A solid football program there benefits the league.
