Bynum may be the key to North Carolina's defense

Posted Aug 24, 2006

All of North Carolina's football players this season have their sights set on a lot of wins, an ACC divisional title and a prestigious bowl game. None of the Tar Heels, however, wants those things more than Shelton Bynum, a senior defensive lineman in the last season of his college career. If North Carolina is to have the season everyone wants, Bynum will have to help significantly. (Winston-Salem Journal)
