UNC's injuries a factor in offensive ineptitude
Posted Oct 9, 2009
Against Georgia Southern, the Tar Heels could be missing six players who started the first game of the season against The Citadel (Kyle Jolly, Jonathan Cooper, Lowell Dyer, Zack Pianalto, Bobby Rome, and Joshua Adams). Offensive coordinator John Shoop won’t use the injuries as an excuse, but I’m not sure everyone realized just how much of an impact they’ve had.
