Tar Heels tight end Brandon Fritts speaks up

Posted Oct 20, 2017
Brandon Fritts decided he wasn’t going to just sit there as a chance for the UNC football team to achieve a winning record was slipping away. “I was definitely frustrated,” Fritts, a junior tight end, said of last week’s halftime message to his teammates. “I just tried to light a fire under our guys’ butts. We weren’t playing inspired football. Frustration just started flaring up.” (Burlington Times-News)
