Lipford’s recovery should boost Tar Heels
Posted Aug 12, 2013
Darius Lipford hasn’t played since the 2011 Independence Bowl, when he tore the ACL in his left knee for the first time. The junior from Lenoir then tore his ACL again last summer. So while his teammates were practicing a year ago, Lipford was riding an exercise bike on the sidelines. Still, Fedora has penciled him in at bandit, a defensive lineman/linebacker position in UNC’s 4-2-5 defense.
