Turner's Take: Farmer on the Field

Posted Nov 14, 2013
After beginning the season at 1-5, Carolina is undefeated in that second half of the football season, and the play of Ethan Farmer up front is a big part of that improvement. Farmer redshirted in 2010 as he moved from tight end to the defensive line. Today, he starts alongside seniors Kareem Martin and Tim Jackson up front. Farmer stepped up in a big way in last week’s win against Virginia. (GoHeels.com)
