Zack Pianalto could give offense big boost
Posted May 18, 2010
UNC is 13-5 over the past two seasons when Zack Pianalto is on the field. He has become a favorite target for T.J. Yates on third down, and last year he set the school single-season record for receptions by a tight end (33) despite missing nearly four games with his foot injury. In order for UNC to make a push for the Coastal Division crown, Pianalto will have to maintain his success, but it’s not the only part of the equation.
