Hope and concern: North Carolina

Posted Jun 6, 2011
The Tar Heels are similar to Miami in that they’re going to be strong up front, but North Carolina could be the best in the ACC. Offensively, this could be the best line the Tar Heels have seen since Butch Davis was hired. None of the players in the two-deep is under 305 pounds (the starting lineup averages 319 pounds), and eight of the top 10 linemen return, including three starters from last season’s roster.
