Travis Hughes, UNC defense looking for a second chance

Posted Sep 18, 2014
Travis Hughes led the UNC defense against ECU with nine total tackles, two for a loss, last year. But UNC’s overall performance — specifically the defense’s — wiped away his smile on that day, too. Now, with a chance for revenge looming, the UNC defense needs energy, specifically from Hughes, to contain the high-octane ECU offense in Greenville Saturday. (Daily Tar Heel)
