Tar Heels Aim to Pick Up the Pace (ESPN’s ACC Blog)
Larry Fedora has used his fast-paced spread offense to set a myriad school records at previous college football stops. Now he’s ready to pick up the pace at North Carolina.

Miami Hurricanes 2012 Spring Game Recap: Pretend This Never Happened (The 7th Floor Blog)
It should be noted from the jump that from a team perspective it’s almost impossible to take anything substantive from a Spring Game.

At times during North Carolina’s spring game at Kenan Stadium on Saturday, the Tar Heels’ revamped offense provided glimpses of what it might become under first-year head coach Larry Fedora.
