Take a look at the score of North
Carolina’s spring football game, and
then totally erase it from your mind.
Forget about an upcoming fall filled
with 66-point games. Forget about a
2002 season of 33-point victories - or
33-point defeats.
No, the 66-33 “Carolina” win against
the “Tar Heels” didn’t mean anything, not
with the essentially nonsensical scoring
system used Saturday at Kenan Stadium.
But the Spring Game isn’t about keep
ing score. It’s about giving the coaches
one last look at their players before the
break heading into summer. It’s about
giving the fans an idea of what’s been
happening down on the practice field.
“I think overall this game showed the
progress we’ve made in some areas," said
UNC coach John Bunting. “We’ve got a
lot of work to do, but we’re on our way.”
Saturday, the dual mission of the
intrasquad scrimmage was accom
plished. Not only did Bunting and his
staff get to evaluate his players in a pseu
do-game environment, but it allowed
UNC fans the chance to see the new
names they’d heard all spring.

people I’ve ever seen,” said Stephens, a
junior quarterback who transferred from
Florida. “I don’t know how many peo
ple could run out of their shoes and still
run for a touchdown. I know I couldn’t”
Pollock, who said he runs the 40-yard
dash in 4.41 seconds, had difficulty with
his shoes all day. He is battling turf toe,
and he wore a shoe with a metal sole in
it that didn’t cover his entire foot.
Regardless, Pollock impressed both his
teammates and the coaches, who alter
nately call him “Watt” and “Jaws.”
“He’s a really shifty, quick, very com
petitive young man,” Bunting said.
“He’s a great playmaker because he has
a great feel for where everybody is.”
In a game in which the teams com
bined for 99 points but scored only five
touchdowns, the points had to come
from somewhere else. The modified
scoring allowed for the defensive team
to earn points for good defensive plays.
Saturday, Mooring was at the center of

ing defensive end had three tackles -
including two sacks -and was impressive
at the spot vacated by Julius Peppers.
“It’s basically impossible to fill shoes
like that,” he said. “I think that we, as a
group, will definitely be able to take over."
Entering the Spring Game, the quar
terback matchup between Stephens and
Darian Durant was much anticipated.
But Bunting put a red jersey on Durant
to keep him from getting hit after the
quarterback missed some of spring prac
tice while deciding whether to transfer.

Bunting wanted him to avoid contact,
played only three series, completing 3 of
7 passes for 33 yards. Stephens finished
6-for-10 for 103 yards, including a 41-
yard touchdown pass to Sam Aiken.
But Bunting downplayed Durant’s
short outing.
“It’s obvious that Darian hasn’t
thrown the ball as much as the others,”
Bunting said. “I’m sure he’s going to
compete to be number one.”

LaMura ended the day with these
numbers: two innings pitched, five
earned runs, three hit-by-pitches, one
wild pitch and one balk.
At least he got someone out. His
replacement, Ryan Childs, faced three
batters and failed to retire any of them,
not that it was entirely his fault.
After allowing a double and a single,
Childs faced UNC first baseman Ryan
Blake with runners on first and third and
the Tar Heels up 5-0. Blake hit a double
play ground ball to short, but Russell
Triplett muffed the play, and the Tar Heels
scored two more runs in the inning.
“Today we played our worst game of
the year,” said Clemson coach Jack
Leggett, whose team dropped to 30-4,
7-2. “We were sloppy on the mound, we
were sloppy on defense, we were sloppy
behind the plate. So we got what we
deserved today.”
But Leggett’s Tigers didn’t fold. They
chased UNC starter Daniel Moore in the
fourth shortly after Jeff Baker crushed a
Moore delivery for a grand slam, his

Harrell (6-3),
though, slammed
the door shut on
the rally. His fast
ball, which he said
he didn’t think he

up in the bullpen,
was dominating.
He pitched 5 2/3

six and allowed just
one run.
