A Tip, a Pick, and an 84-Yard Burst by Jahvaree Ritzie Into the End Zone

Posted Oct 27, 2024
The most entertaining play from North Carolina’s 41-14 victory over Virginia on Saturday came late in the third quarter, and it was all about number five trucking 84 yards into the end zone for a touchdown. Only it wasn’t J.J. Jones, who set a career-high with 129 receiving yards, it was defensive lineman Jahvaree Ritzie. All 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds of him. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
