CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- When fall camp began, North Carolina assistant coach Seth Littrell made a promise to the team's tailbacks. This season, he told them, the Tar Heels were going to run the ball a lot.

In UNC's opening scrimmage, that's exactly what happened. The tailbacks got their touches, and they responded by breaking off a series of big runs. It was a refreshing change of pace.
