UNC will miss top WR for first half of season opener

Posted Aug 29, 2016
Senior receiver Mack Hollins must sit out the first half due to a penalty he committed in the Tar Heels' Russell Athletic Bowl loss. More of a mystery for the Tar Heels is the status of junior defensive end Dajaun Drennon. Drennon was not listed on the pre-game depth chart released by UNC on Monday and Larry Fedora would not comment when asked about his status. (Fayetteville Observer)
