Dwight Jones delivers for Tar Heels

Posted Oct 8, 2011
Having played with Dwight Jones in prep school, Quinton Coples knows as well as anyone that it takes more than two guys to bring Jones down. Louisville found out Saturday what Coples already knows. Jones caught the ball at the 13-yard-line and dragged a pair of Cardinal defenders along as they batted at the ball like kittens. Jones finally shook them off, spun away and trotted the final five yards into the end zone. (Raleigh News & Observer)
