Malik Simmons is the next man up for UNC football


Next man up. Practice like a starter, even from the second-unit. Cliched, sure. Contrived, perhaps. But to North Carolina cornerback , the age-old adages couldn’t ring truer. “Oh, it’s real,” he said. “Any second, during the game, during the week — it’s as real as it gets.” For Simmons, reality set in before the season started.
