State\u2019s stunning decision to move redshirt freshman Dean Haynes from the secondary to tailback was a big topic as Wolfpack coach Tom O\u2019Brien addressed the media Wednesday. O\u2019Brien again said the staff wasn\u2019t happy with its running game as camp progressed, which is why they looked back to how well Haynes had done on the scout team last fall.<\/p>\n<p>Asked to describe Haynes\u2019 running style, O\u2019Brien said,\u201cHe\u2019s a slasher. It\u2019s pretty decisive when he makes his cut. He puts his foot in the ground and he heads toward the goal line.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what we like. He\u2019s been very good holding onto the football. he\u2019s a tough individual. He can bounce off tackles and break tackles. And if he gets a chance we\u2019re going to find out if he can run away from anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Brien said true freshman Mustafa Greene, a top recruit from Irmo, S.C., will also play Saturday against Western Carolina. He said Curtis Underwood was the No. 3 back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N.C.
