UNC’s front seven poses challenge for Cavs’ offensive line

Posted Sep 13, 2011
Virginia will be welcomed into ACC play Saturday against a UNC defense that features a physically imposing front line. Through two games, the Tar Heels have tallied nine sacks, a mark that is higher than all but three FBS teams in the nation. Keeping sophomore quarterback Michael Rocco on his feet Saturday at Chapel Hill will be a difficult challenge for Virginia’s offensive line, thought to be the team’s strongest unit.
