North Carolina football coach John Bunting is turning up the heat on senior Matt Baker. His quarterback leads the ACC with eight interceptions, and Bunting said Baker needs to do a better job protecting the football. Bunting has heaped praise on Baker, a first-year starter, over the entire season. Though the statistics didn't reflect it early, Bunting had said Baker could be the top quarterback in the ACC by the end of the season. (Charlotte Observer)
