UNC offensive line producing Grade A ground beef

Posted Oct 7, 2010
UNC’s offensive line is maturing quickly, as it showed by dominating ECU in the second half. Clemson will be tougher to block, but another intelligent game plan that emphasizes rushing will provide help when the Tar Heels do pass. Clemson is eighth in the ACC in rushing defense, allowing 181 yards per game. “That is the best thing for the O-linemen,” freshman tackle James Hurst said. “We got a chance to run the ball."
