Hurst brothers starting for UNC

Posted Aug 19, 2011
As a reserve tight end last season,UNC's Nelson Hurst occasionally got to line up beside younger brother James, a starting offensive tackle who earned freshman All-America honors. Now that Nelson is expected to start, too, expect to see them side-by-side more often.
