North Carolina graduate transfer center Cam Dillard and senior offensive tackle Bentley Spain are playing through pain. At a recent practice, white athletic tape was around their hands and Dillard’s ankle, remnants of early-season injuries. Spain broke his hand before the start of the season, and Dillard sprained his ankle against Louisville on Sept. 9. (Durham Herald-Sun)
