Zach Brown works out the kinks

Posted Sep 8, 2009
UNC sophomore linebacker Zach Brown made his first career start at 'Will' linebacker for the Tar Heels Saturday night against The Citadel, contributing four tackles, including one tackle for loss. While he admitted that he was nervous heading into his first collegiate start, Brown says he quickly overcame the early butterflies and settled into his role while helping the Tar Heel defenders keep the Bulldogs out of the end zone.
