They've lost All-ACC center Jason Brown, lost stalwart tackle Willie McNeill, had to piece together five players--any five players--through much of the summer while almost half the depth chart battled injuries. And yet when players and coaches discuss the 2005 strengths and weaknesses, the offensive line never falls into the weakness category. (Tar Heel Blue)
