Tar Heels count on senior receiver

Posted Sep 10, 2011
Late in the first half last Saturday, UNC sophomore Bryn Renner threaded a pass so tightly through a clot of James Madison defenders, it could have marred what became the most accurate performance by a quarterback in ACC history. Instead, senior receiver Dwight Jones somehow got his hands on the ball for a 21-yard catch, marking one of the nine receptions he contributed to Renner's 22-for-23 day. (Raleigh News & Observer)
