UNC over UVA: From walk-on to standout, Mack Hollins excels

Posted Oct 25, 2014
UNC coach Larry Fedora said that no one on North Carolina was going to say he played a great game in UNC’s 28-27 win over Virginia Saturday — except for sophomore Mack Hollins. The former walk-on caught two long touchdown passes in the first half, helped field two punts inside the 2 in the second half and then grabbed a surprise onside kick with four minutes left.
