Zack Pianalto has been a bright spot for Heels
Posted Nov 1, 2007
North Carolina had no chance of mounting a comeback against Wake Forest last Saturday, but Zack Pianalto kept playing as if the ACC championship hinged on the outcome. Pianalto, a freshman H-back, had six catches for 55 yards, both career highs, but his work went for naught in a 37-10 shellacking. Coach Butch Davis saw few encouraging signs for the Tar Heels besides Pianalto’s determination to fight off Wake Forest by himself.
