Welcome to another edition of Tracking the Tar Heels.
Here’s what the Tar Heels have been up to:
- Though the offense has gotten most of the attention, the North Carolina football team’s defense has been dominant in its last couple of outings, Senior Writer Kelly Parsons writes.
- That UNC defense will look to remain stout against Virginia Tech this Saturday.
- The Hokies will give the Tar Heels their biggest test at Kenan Stadium so far this season, Harold Gutmann of the Durham Herald-Sun writes.
- Quarterback Bryn Renner has Virginia Tech connections, Sammy Batten of the Fayetteville Observer writes.
- Former UNC baseball player Adam Greenberg is expected to make a pinch-hit appearance for the Miami Marlins today. Greenberg was hit in the head with a pitch during his first at-bat in the majors seven years ago. He hasn’t played since then.
