No replacements have been named. The amount of firings was not unprecedented. In 1999, there were seven managerial changes in the offseason. Valentine sensed he was in trouble during a National League-record 15- game home losing streak that doomed the Mets’ season. He was gone after a 75- 86 season and the team’s first basement finish since 1993. Natron’s Rangers were worse, finishing 72-90 and in last place for the third straight season. Both had one year left on their contracts. Bunting Shifts Defensive Lineup Coach hopes to stimulate competition By Aaron Fin Sport Saturday Editor Another game, another loss, another affirmation that the North Carolina foot ball team can’t stop the run. Coach John Bunting has been tinker ing with his young, inexperienced front seven all season, searching for the right combination of personnel to keep opposing running games in check. After Georgia Tech became the Tar Heels’ second con- Football Notebook secutive opponent to gross more than 200 yards on the ground Saturday, Bunting realized that his search was far from over. So this week, Bunting will try to fight inexperience with, well, inexpe rience. “Sometimes when you go into the season, some players are no longer in competitive situations,” Bunting said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. “Some players see, ‘Well, I’m not going to play as much,’ so they might shut it down. So we’re going to create a little competition.” The defensive line has been the biggest disappointment thus far, and that is where most of Bunting’s lineup shuffling has been focused. Through four games, 12 different linemen have registered at least one tackle. “You don’t sub linebackers very much and you don’t sub secondary very much, but defensive line you’re going to make substitutions,” Bunting said. “So it’s a better opportunity for those guys to play.” Sophomore tackle Jonas Seawright will likely become the 13th lineman to get in the books Saturday at Arizona State. Bunting said Seawright will see jgtoufttotcfe I Golf ES .Course iSf [~ Southwick’s Fall Special ~J | In an era of less than half full bags of potato chips and > . “Super Size" portions that are really medium size, . ■ I Southwick wants you to get more for your money. | Therefore, beginning now through October 31st-All | golfers may play as many holes as they desire and are | able to before darkness each and every day for the | prevailing 18 Hole rate.

I believe in that, I’ve done that, I’ve UNC defensive tackle Jonas Seawright is expected to see increased playing time Saturday at Arizona State been around that all my life. I was given opportunities, and I’ve given players opportunities at every level I’ve coached at, and I’ll continue to do that” Two players who made the most of their chances against the Yellowjackets were tackle Kendall High and end Larry Jessup. “Jessup played hard, and he will play again this week,” Bunting said. “Larry Jessup got out there and took advantage of his opportunity and played hard.” High, a talented but raw true fresh man, was forced into increased playing time by injuries to linemen Eric Davis and Issac Mooring. Bunting is happy with High’s progress and thinks the experience will help the team in the long run. “We feel like he’s getting better, he’s giving great effort,” Bunting said. “I think he’s going to be a real good foot ball player. Is he strong enough right now? How could he be? He’s right out of high school. We are forced to play him there, and we’ll be better next year because of the playing time he receives this year.” But just because Bunting has an eye on the future does not mean he’s giving up on the present. \IH 4 iSt - • WRHSKjjjSIg.
