At least one UNC offensive lineman got so tired during 17-play drive he was seeing colors

Posted Sep 3, 2024
When extremely tired college athletes are particularly winded they sometimes see colors. That happened Thursday night for at least one offensive lineman when UNC dominated time of possession with 29 third-quarter snaps in the Tar Heels’ 19–17 opening-game win at Minnesota. “Guys were pretty winded,” UNC center Austin Blaske said.
