Edwards refuses to give in to pain

Posted Nov 12, 2006

Once moment, North Carolina coach John Bunting was told that linebacker Larry Edwards wouldn't return to Saturday's game because of a sprained left ankle. The next, he glanced up to see the senior back on the field. Considering Edwards returned from a cracked collarbone two weeks early to play Saturday, the player wasn't going to little a little ankle pain keep him from finishing the game against No. 19 Georgia Tech.
