Curry could only sit and watch. Now Curry and the Tar Heels face another set of challenges. There is a new offense and a new offensive coordinator. Mike O'Cain, former N.C. State head coach, has come to Chapel Hill to teach Curry and oversee the offense. It would seem to be the perfect fit, but the two must still make the transition.
Personnel is an issue, too.
Carolina's offensive line is young. There is one unproven runner at tailback, and the Tar Heels' best receiver is coming off a serious knee injury. Curry often performs like a magician when he's running the ball, bobbing, weaving, eluding with seeming ease. He may need a few more tricks to make this offense work.
