Progress for Zack Pianalto

Posted Oct 19, 2009
UNC tight end Zack Pianalto hasn't played since dislocating a bone in his right foot on Sept. 12. Despite missing four games, Pianalto ranks third on the team in receiving yards (112). He had seven catches for 87 yards and a touchdown before injuring his foot in the fourth quarter of UNC's 12-10 win over UConn in the second week of the season. Butch Davis wouldn't say if Pianalto would be ready for FSU, only that he's making progress. (Raleigh News & Observer)
