UNC offensive line faces tough task to start

Posted Jul 18, 2013
James Hurst, one of the best offensive linemen in college football, started 36 games in his career and will line up at left tackle next to Caleb Peterson. The Tar Heels will be counting on him to help out Peterson and the rest of the offensive line. Hurst falls into the same category as Michigan left tackle Taylor Lewan, who faced South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney in the Outback Bowl. (ESPN.com)
