4The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, November 14, 1990 PIBRT Brown outlaws bowl talk in UNC camp By DOUG HOOGERVORST Staff Writer With bowl fever striking the North Carolina campus. Tar Heel football coach Mack Brown would rather not worry about that. Brown would like to get North Carolina to focus on this Saturday's opponent, Duke University, SS w hich defeated UNC 4 1 -0 last year. "We have (UNC athletic director) JU1I1I JWUIIUIU IU uuuuiv uiui oiuu, mum the Aloha Bowl," Brown said in his weekly press conference Tuesday. "We feel if there's any possibility of us going i-.to a bowl game that John is the best guy Kto handle that. " "We can't do anything as a football team about the bowl possibilities except beat Duke. So we have a rule this week that no coach and no player mentions the word 'bowl.'" Well, as a publication, the DTH can mention the bowl possibilities, and the postseason games reportedly still con sidering North Carolina are the Peach, Liberty, Aloha and Fiesta bow ls. ': Of the bowls, the Fiesta carries the most prestige and money with its Jan. 1 date. However, the bowl in Tempe, Ariz., would like to match the South eastern conference runner-up with Louisville. Recently, Arizona voters defeated a referendum aimed at establishing the . :::::::??. . ..s,'y fTa Chuckie Burnette Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and some universities, including Virginia, have already said they would not play in the bowl. That gives UNC an outside shot at a Fiesta berth, because the SEC runner-up may refuse its invitation, and other teams desired by the Fiesta may have already committed to other bowls. The Peach and the Aloha seem the best possibilities forthe Tar Heels' bowl aspirations.

"This team has had, for the expecta tions going into this year, a great year," he said. "I would have liked them to have beaten two of the Top 20 teams to add to the top of the season, but it doesn't degrade it. "Now it's important that this team finish with a winning season." As for the progress that Brown stressed as a goal, he said the Tar Heels have come a long way in his tenure, and the third-year head coach had the numbers to back up the claim. For single-year advancement. North Carolina continues to be the nation's most improved team record-wise, and it can seal that honor this season with a victory Saturday. In the Brown era, the defensive sta tistical improvement is staggering. In 1988, UNC allowed a school-record 356 points before the Duke game. That number dropped to 256 points in 1 989, and this season, the Tar Heels have allowed a stingy 164 points in the first 10 games. Want yardage improvements? Here they are. Again through 1 0 games, UNC opponents gained 2,400 yards on the ground in 1 988 and 2,436 yards rushing in 1989. This season, North Carolina has allowed only 1,246 yards on the ground. Brown noted another amazing sta tistic: "This is phenomenal. I would have probably cut my wrists if I'd re alized this. (Through 10 games) in 1988, we only forced the opposition to punt 14 times. In '89, 19 times. This year we've forced 43 punts. "You can see progress all over this program. We're not pleased that we lost close ball games.

DOD Chuckie Burnette's 6-for-7 effort that led to UNC's touchdown against Vir ginia showed that maybe the much heralded 1988 North Carolina high school player of the year was ready to fulfill that potential. "Chuckie's come a million miles," Brown said. "He's had ability since he's been here. He threw for more yards than anyone else in our high school's history, and we've had some real good quarterbacks from North Carolina. "It was just a situation last year where we didn't have the experienced guys to help him out, and this year he's been hurt and not able to practice." Burnette's performance against Vir ginia also has caused speculation as to who will start against the Blue Devils. Brown said immediately after the UVa. game that Todd Burnett would be the starter, but Tuesday he said that the position could be up for grabs. "The situation this week is that we'll play both (Chuckie) and Todd 50 per cent of the time in practice, and we'll choose a starter before the ballgame," Brown said. "But we're going to play the one in the ballgame that moves us. We need somebody to give us that spark offensively." Bin After having tried to defense Virginia's 6-foot-5 receiver, Herman Moore, Brown said hie still had no clue how to stop the Wahoos top pass catcher. "(The media) asked me last week how do you defense (Herman). I don't know. Somebody said after the game that Shawn (Moore) said he couldn't believe we didn't put two on him, but then that's two who watch him jump up and catch it instead of one."
