Veteran offensive line gives Tar Heels confidence

Posted Aug 29, 2011
UNC quarterback Bryn Renner has plenty of reasons to be nervous when he starts his first game on Saturday against James Madison. So he’s thankful not to have to waste any time worrying about his protection. “The knowledge they have on the offensive line to make blitz checks, and just to command the whole front, the glory doesn’t always go to them, but I think it should,” Renner said on Thursday.
