'Trench Warfare' to determine UNC's football success in 2014

Posted Aug 6, 2014
When asked what would most determine UNC’s success this season, coach Larry Fedora pointed to how quickly the offensive line gels. After all, that unit’s struggles when it had to replace three NFL draft picks was a big reason why UNC started 1-5 last season. “(Last year) we had two or three really good linemen, but we had one or two that weren’t ready yet, and that will kill you,” offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic said.
