especially in practice because a lot
more guys get hurt, more reps are
made. That might strengthen the possi
bility of those getting hurt, or injured or
fatigued.
“It’s also important that everyone gets
reps so we can find out exactly who
starts because no one is guaranteed a
starting position.”

media and the public.
In a press release following the game,
Bunting said he was pleased with his
team’s performance, especially on the
offensive side of the ball.
“I thought it went very well,”
Bunting said. “There were far too many
penalties, but I was pleased with the
passing game and the way we ran the
ball. We ran the football very well, and
we ran it a lot. It was impressive to see
the first-team offense drive right down
the field on the opening drive for a
score, i
“I was pleased with both quarter
backs. Darian led the team on the first
drive, but C.J. was impressive also.”
Mid-Campus House Arrest
A year ago at this time, Bunting was
busy making the fives of his players mis
erable.
But forget about the on-the-field grind
of two-a-day practices in Piedmont heat.
That wasn’t nearly as stressful as Year
One of the training camp experience.
Bunting limited their comings and
goings by making them stay in Avery
Residence Hall. He snatched away the
keys to their cars, keeping them strand
ed in the Middle Campus dorm.

styled after the NFL preseason camps to

A year later, not much has changed.

Prized N.C. State Frosh
To Miss Entire Season
A.J. Davis breaks leg during practice
From Wire Reports
RALEIGH - N.C. State freshman cor
nerback AJ. Davis, who signed to play for
the Wolfpack after orally committing to
North Carolina, broke his leg Wednesday
night and is out for the season.
The highly touted newcomer will
have surgery next week and be side
lined at least two months before begin
ning rehabilitation, Wolfpack coach
Chuck Amato told reporters Thursday.
Davis broke the bone just above his
left ankle while trying to make a tackle.
“You can’t say it was a disappointment
because it’s football," Davis told The
(Raleigh) News & Observer. “Things like
this happen. I could see if it was my
senior year, it would be a disappoint
ment. But it’s just my freshman year.
“It wasn’t a fife-ending injury or any
thing. It could have been worse.”
The 5-foot-10, 171-pound Davis was
rated the nation’s best prep comerback
by one recruiting service when he
starred in football and track at Northern
Durham High. He holds the state 4-A
high school record in the long jump and
was the state indoor champion in the
long and triple jumps.
His recruitment began a small war of
words between UNC coach John Bunting
and Amato, who told media on national
signing day of how he crooned Italian love
songs to Davis to get him to go to State.
Davis had impressed Wolfpack
coaches in preseason practices, and he
was fisted as the backup at right cor
ner.
State had shifted comerback Greg
Golden to tailback in preseason drills
because of Davis’ early play, and Amato
also had indicated that Davis might
return kickoffs and punts.
Davis was expected to compete on
State’s track team this year, but he said
he was unsure whether he would be
healthy enough.
“We hate it for him because he is a
very, very talented individual,” Amato
said. “Maybe he can spend the year ...
getting his academics in line and get a

Maryland Scrimmage Showcases QBs
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Quarterbacks Scott Mcßrien and Chris
Kelley combined to complete 19 of 29
passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns
to highlight Maryland’s first scrimmage of
fall camp Saturday evening.
Mcßrien was 10-of-16 for 142 yards
and one touchdown while Kelley com
pleted nine of 13 passes for 103 yards
and one score. Kelley also led all ball
carriers with 34 yards on four carries.
“I think we got out of this scrimmage
just what we wanted,” said second-year
Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen. “We
went a little longer than I wanted, but
I’m trying to give these quarterbacks as
much experience as they can get, yet
holding my breath hoping we wouldn’t
get anybody hurt”
Florida State Tunes Up Before Opener
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 3
Florida State Seminoles held their third
and final scrimmage of preseason practice
Friday night at Doak Campbell Stadium.
Senior Talman Gardner, who has
been the leading receiver in each of the
three scrimmages, had three catches for
90 yards and a touchdown. Chris Rix
worked the entire half as the starter at
quarterback, completing 8-of-17 passes
for 149 yards with two touchdowns and
one interception.
The regular scrimmage lasted for a half
as the coaches switched to situational work
on a running clock in the second half.
FSU travels to Kansas City Thursday for
an August 24th contest against lowa State
in the Eddie Robinson Classic.
“The big thing I see is that we’re not
sharp," said FSU coach Bobby Bowden.
“We’ve got seven more days to get this
thing sharpened up and I sure hope we
can do it. We went down there (red
zone) too many times and only came up
with three. This will give us a chance to
go back and grade the film and straight
en out the ones who aren’t doing the
right thing.”
