Strelow: Quinton Coples' home finale a slam dunk

Posted Nov 27, 2011
Quinton Coples recorded two sacks in his final game at Kenan Stadium, dominating like a potential top-10 NFL draft pick should. His performance helped the Tar Heels retain the Victory Bell with a 37-21 victory against rival Duke. "It definitely opened a lot of eyes, people seeing, 'He's still got it,' " Coples said. The "it" isn't something he necessarily lost. (Fayetteville Observer)
