Posted Oct 4, 2010
Beat East Carolina, 42-17. What worked: The Tar Heels (2-2, 0-1 ACC) rushed for 263 yards, at 5.7 yards per clip, in a 42-17 win over East Carolina. The left side of the line, tackle James Hurst and guard Jonathan Cooper, have quickly established themselves as the program's best blockers since Jason Brown and Madison Hedgecock.
