North Carolina's Offensive Line Concern
The biggest concern and what will ultimately decide the fate of the Tar Heels this year is offensive line. When you look at this group, you’ve got to have

UNC junior receiver
Trech Kekahuna stares down his goals for the season. Messages written by the undersized Hawaiian remind him to trust the process, take things one step at a time, and stay grounded.
