UNC sophomore receiver Emery Simmons had to step up and start against NC State due to senior Beau Corrales being out with a lower body injury. "I feel like I was ready for that role, and it worked out this weekend," Simmons said. The Parkton, North Carolina, native has always been aware that he is the next man up for the Tar Heels' receiving corps. (Daily Tar Heel)
