Anthony Elzy rises to his starting job

Posted Dec 24, 2010
Anthony Elzy had recently visited Ohio State when he arrived in Chapel Hill with his father Tony in the summer of 2006 to check out UNC's campus. Even before they left to return to their Warren, Ohio, home, the high school running back told his father, "This is where I want to be. I don't need to see anywhere else." That decision four years ago has gone far in salvaging this football season for the 7-5 Tar Heels. (Charlotte Observer)
