Even the punter shares in Tar Heels’ misery

Posted Oct 27, 2017
Going into UNC’s game Saturday at Virginia Tech, a Tom Sheldon punt had never been returned more than 17 yards (last year’s opponents managed two yards combined), and the Australian had never had a punt blocked. In a difficult season, the Tar Heel punting unit has been the one consistent bright spot, regularly flipping the field and putting the defense in good position. (Wilson Times)
