The biggest question around Tar Heel football this week is this: How will the defense attempt to replace and account for the loss of linebacker Larry Edwards? First, they will look to Martel Thatch, a 6-2, 210-pound junior from Dudley High in Greensboro. Thatch was a prized recruit from the 2004 signing class and has been a warrior on core special teams. He originally played safety but was moved to linebacker last spring.
