Posted Feb 14, 2012
UNC spring practice opens March 14; Spring game: April 14; New coach Larry Fedora needs to amp up the offense, and the pieces are in place to do so. Four starting linemen return, along with 1,000-yard rusher Gio Bernard and QB Bryn Renner. Fedora needs WR Erik Highsmith to make the adjustment from complementary talent to go-to guy, and depth also needs to emerge at wide receiver. (Rivals.com)
