Walk-ons Playing Key Roles for UNC

It’s difficult to pinpoint where one should start in dissecting UNC’s walk-on (and former walk-on) highlights. There was Mack Hollins’s 33-yard touchdown off a smoke screen. There was Dominquie Green’s trio of fumble recoveries and then there was Jeff Schoettmer’s 19-yard pick-six that allowed the Tar Heels to pull away from Liberty in Saturday’s 56-29 win.
