Clemson's Gaines, Bunting's loss

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
I don't read USA Today often but came across a copy of today's edition on my way up to tonight's UNC-Virginia game and found an interesting piece on Clemson sackmaster Gaines Adams.

As many ACC fans know by now, Adams played 8-player football in high school for former South Carolina QB/mullet aficiando Steve Taneyhill. The most interesting nugget to me was that North Carolina was one of the few I-A schools to offer Adams but, after he spent a year at Fork Union, Bunting's staff rescinded the offer.

Adams leads the ACC with 7 1/2 sacks. UNC, 1-5 entering tonight's ho-hum affair, has 8 sacks as a team. And the Heels' defense is -- well, you know how bad it is. I won't belabor the point, but they sure could use a decent rush end, don't you think?

I think that was at Cambridge Academy in Greenwood, which was a member of one of the South Carolina private school leagues.
The last I heard, Tanneyhill (sp?) is now coaching at Chesterfield High School.
