Shades of Brice Johnson: Garrison Brooks shines in UNC's season opener

Posted Nov 6, 2018
If you watched closely Tuesday, chances are you noticed something familiar. Maybe you first noticed it when Garrison Brooks converted an and-one with 2:57 remaining in the first half and watched as he roared to the crowd in a way that made former Tar Heel All-American Brice Johnson proud. Or maybe you noticed it a play later. Or maybe you noticed it at halftime. (Daily Tar Heel)
