The University of Miami will unveil new uniforms for the 2007 football season, announced head coach Randy Shannon. The new uniforms, crafted by Nike, are similar to those worn for the past three seasons, with a couple of minor aesthetic changes, including different striping on the front and back and wider jersey numbers. The Hurricanes will also wear black shoes, but the traditional white helmet with the split U logo will remain unchanged.
North Carolina head coach Butch Davis conducted his first official practice as a Tar Heel on Monday afternoon under sunny skies at Carolina's Navy practice fields. Davis was active throughout the two-hour session moving from station to station to work with specific position groups.
"I was pleased with the effort and enthusiasm of our players," said Davis. "We were fairly efficient and I think we became a better team today. That's our goal, to be better the next day than we were the previous day."
As the second week of spring practice resumed Tuesday at the University of Miami, at least three position groups were running thin on available players.
Senior center Derrick Morse wore a brace on his left knee and was doing drills with the injured players. Coach Randy Shannon said Morse is expected to return in ``a day or two.''
Jason Fox (Achilles' tendon), Tyrone Byrd (knee), Ian Symonette (knee) and AJ Trump (knee) are other offensive linemen out because of injuries.
With Morse out, UM had just six healthy linemen available. Matt Pipho and Andrew Bain received the majority of reps at center Tuesday.
