UNC 2015 Fall Camp Preview and Key Position Battles

Posted Aug 4, 2015
North Carolina really struggled stopping the run last season, ranking 117th by coughing up 240.5 rushing yards per game.

The Heels only had 22 sacks last year, but ends Jessie Rogers and Dajuan Drennon should improve that number this season. (Athlon Sports)
