Carolina's Five Challenges

Posted Aug 9, 2008

The first and most critical challenge facing Carolina this season will be at the defensive end position. Hilee Taylor has graduated and now is signed with the 49ers. UNC will miss his 10.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss from last season. Starting on the pre-season depth chart for the Heels at defensive end are sophomore Greg Elleby and junior E.J. Wilson.
