UNC Linebacker Cedric Gray Plays Hero Against Miami

Posted Oct 17, 2021
In a game that saw UNC hold 14-point leads twice in the second half, only to be backed up in the red zone despite forcing two turnovers and holding Miami to 80 yards of offense in the first half, it only took one player to make a play and secure the Tar Heels a 45-42 win. And according to his teammates, it was only right that the player was Cedric Gray. (Inside Carolina)
