Mack Brown Live: Finding an Identity

“At a time where you lose two of the best backs in the country, you didn't need an unexperienced offensive line to be banged up, and they've been banged up for the three weeks that we've played,” UNC coach Mack Brown said. “What a great positive for our program that we're developing depth and quality depth because William Barnes stepped up."
