UNC RB A.J. Blue rises to top this spring

Posted Apr 26, 2013
One of the biggest questions facing UNC coach Larry Fedora this spring was how he is going to possibly replace running back Giovani Bernard, who finished 2012 as the ACC’s leading rusher, leading scorer, top punt returner and leader in all-purpose yards. Answer: It starts with A.J. Blue. Fedora said on Thursday that if the season began today, Blue would be in the starting lineup. (ESPN.com)
