North Carolina has a chance to be one of the real surprises of the college football season, and the damn players on that team may have put that chance in danger. The potential suspensions are a cloud over a team has a chance to be spectacular.
But, let's talk about the potential Tar Heel championship.
Their defense will be spectacular. They have 3 all-league performers in their defensive backfield;they have 2 all-league performers at the linebacking spots; and they have 2 all-league performers in the line, including DE Quinn, who had 11 sacks! This may be the best defense in the country.
On the offense, all 6 of the talent positions return, as do 3.5 starters on the offensive line.
Another aspect of North Carolina's chance to surprise this year is the experience of head coach Butch Davis. He's been through national title runs with Miami, and I think the calming effect of his "having been there" will help the Tar Heels if they do get on the run I think they are capable of.
If you are a gambler, North Carolina is worth a small investment to win the national championship.
It just figures that North Carolina has many things going its way, and its players may have jeopardized their team's chance to do something really special.
