UNC football player charged with assault
They failed to protect a 24-10 lead in the final 4½ minutes of regulation before winning in overtime at Virginia Tech, then surrendered 514 yards and allowed N.C. State to convert 12 of 21 third downs (57 percent).
Watson also showed that he’s capable of making the big play when it counts, even though the South Carolina Gamecocks have been anything but great this season. He is recovered from an injury that cost him six games and is expected to play for the first time in the 2015-16 season. At the same time with Paige and Jackson drawing much of the perimeter attention, Pinson is going to get open looks.
Now, with a bit more experience under his belt, we’ve seen Watson transform from a player who was a solid young quarterback with a lot of potential, into one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
In all, the Tar Heels have shaved 18.2 points and 102.9 yards off their average in one year’s time, leaping from 119th in scoring defense to 19th in national ratings. Coach Larry Fedora’s spread offense has set season school records with 495 points and 63 touchdowns.
North Carolina, wheezing and coughing to the end, survived again.
Shelby Cheslek’s put-back three-point play with 1:11 to give Gonzaga a 62-60 lead but on the ensuing possession Hillary Summers found McDaniel along under the basket.
UNC certainly came out with an edge, driven by memories of last year’s 35-7 loss in which the Wolfpack physically beat up the Tar Heels and ran for 388 yards. Hood and Greensboro’s T.J. Logan were electric, running through huge holes and giving Williams the option to run himself or throw to wide-open receivers running free in the secondary.
A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football player is charged with simple assault, according to WTVD. However, first the Tar Heels will have to get past the Wolfpack on the road this week.
Watson has four 300-yard passing games and has either passed for 340-plus yards or run for 98-plus yards in each of his last seven games.
Against Texas State, the Blue Devils jumped out to an early lead and didn’t let up, finishing the opening quarter on an 11-0 run and holding a 27-7 advantage.
“I think he threw for 400 yards and five touchdowns, and that’s the first thing that resonates in my mind”, Jeff Schoettmer, UNC’s senior linebacker, said on Monday. However, all too often when teams diagnose it, and figure out how to stop those plays, the offensive team is rendered helpless.
“This is the best offense we have faced this year”, Fedora said of Clemson.
