Larry Fedora gives his take on the Rashad-Vernon incident
Posted Oct 22, 2012
North Carolina football coach Larry Fedora gave his account Monday of the now-infamous Shakeel Rashad-Conner Vernon collision during Saturday’s game at Wallace-Wade Stadium. Not surprisingly, he defended his player. He also took the high ground on a hit two plays later that resulted in an injury to Tar Heels defensive lineman Tim Jackson.
