And this is where the Tar Heels have failed. The Seminoles have defeated UNC by an average of 18.7 points in Tallahassee and 22.7 in Chapel Hill. UNC will not win unless the Carolina offensive line can shield and shove the Seminoles enough for UNC quarterback Ronald Curry to throw without getting hammered every time he touches the ball. For his part, Curry has proven to be a tough guy since he came to UNC in 1998. Sure, he tore his Achilles' tendon last fall.
Serious injuries happen.
He has otherwise taken a pretty good beating during his first 12 starts at QB and kept coming back. Last Saturday, it happened again. Wake Forest pounded Curry. Left him pretty sore, too. Too many more nights like that, and his body might just start to give way.
