UNC's linemen ready for next test

Posted Sep 7, 2009
After spending the past few seasons relying on a group of talented wide receivers to carry much of the offensive load, UNC began forging a new identity as a running team in Saturday's season-opening victory over The Citadel. And even though running back Shaun Draughn deserves much of the credit for helping UNC notch it's biggest day on the ground in the Butch Davis era with 261 yards, just as much credit also belongs to the offensive line.
