Turner's Take: Firsts

Posted Sep 3, 2011
Saturday was a day of firsts for Carolina football. The 42-10 victory over James Madison was the first win of the 2011 season, and the first under interim head coach Everett Withers. It was the first start for quarterback Bryn Renner. Like T.J. Yates before him, Renner’s first start came in a season opener at home against James Madison. (Tar Heel Blue)
