Cedric Gray leads battered UNC defense in victory against Virginia

Posted Nov 6, 2022
In North Carolina's last trip to Scott Stadium in 2020, Cedric Gray mistimed his tackle on a fake punt and Virginia picked up the game-sealing first down. Gray admits it was on his mind Saturday. But in UNC’s 31-28 win, where the junior linebacker recorded a career-high 16 tackles and registered the Tar Heels’ lone sack, Gray put that memory to rest. (Daily Tar Heel)
