Ranking the ACC's Offensive Lines for 2012
Posted Jul 13, 2012
1. North Carolina – Quarterback Bryn Renner and running back Giovani Bernard will be two of the top players in the ACC, and both players will operate behind the No. 1 offensive line in the ACC. Left tackle James Hurst earned second-team All-ACC honors last year and could push for All-American status with a standout 2012 campaign. Senior Jonathan Cooper is also one of the best guards in the nation.
