UNC's O-line trying to lay low, prove themselves quietly

Posted Aug 26, 2009
After a turbulent offseason that included a few departures and injuries, North Carolina's front five are working hard to make it through this fall rather unnoticed. "That's the motivation to be good," junior offensive guard Alan Pelc said. "There's not a lot of talk about the offensive line, but that's what we got into. We came into it knowing that, and to us it's a good thing if our name's not mentioned." (ESPN.com)
