Checking in with UNC's A.J. Blue: Part I

Posted Feb 4, 2013
North Carolina’s offense will have a new identity in 2013, as former tailback Giovani Bernard, the face of the program in 2012, decided to leave early for the NFL draft. His lead blocker, Outland Trophy finalist Jonathan Cooper, is also gone. Those within the program, though, are confident the Heels can be just as successful without them. Enter running back A.J. Blue. (ESPN.com)
