It's on the line for Heels

Posted Sep 11, 2009
Preseason concerns about the depth along North Carolina's offensive line could come into play on Saturday against Connecticut. The 19th-ranked Tar Heels will be without left guard Jonathan Cooper unless his injured right ankle improves significantly in the next 24 hours. Cooper, a redshirt freshman, sprained his ankle on the third play of UNC's 40-6 win over The Citadel last week and missed the second half. (Raleigh News & Observer)
