ECU's Khalif Mitchell will play against former team

Posted Sep 7, 2007

Khalif Mitchell always will have a spot in UNC football history. But this week Mitchell's focus is on making history against the Tar Heels. Now a junior defensive tackle at East Carolina, Mitchell is fired up for the chance to play against his former team Saturday (6 p.m., CSTV) at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The Tar Heels are making just their second trip to Greenville, and the Pirates are seeking their first win against UNC in front of their home fans. (Durham Herald-Sun)
