Posted Dec 18, 2013

With two punt return touchdowns at Heinz Field back in November, the freshman spurred the Tar Heels to a win over Pittsburgh and helped secure Carolina’s bid to the Belk Bowl on December 28th. In looking at the stats ahead of the Tar Heels’ matchup with Cincinnati, it’s apparent that Switzer could change that game, too. (GoHeels.com)
