Tar Heels putting on the ‘big boy pads’ for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh

Posted Nov 13, 2014
In preparation for Pittsburgh running back James Conner, safety Tim Scott and the UNC defense have been thinking a lot about Andre Williams. “At the beginning of last week, we just said, ‘This is a repeat of last year with Boston College,’” Scott said. Pitt does the same thing with 6-foot-2, 250-pound Conner, who brings a frame and ground attack very similar to what the 6-foot, 227-pound Williams brought to Kenan Stadium in 2013. (Daily Tar Heel)
