UNC DT Nazair Jones: "We had guys that stepped up"

Posted Sep 24, 2016
The Pittsburgh offense was dominating. Time was running out. The score was 36-23. But then senior Nazair Jones and the UNC defense rallied. "We got together on the sideline and were like, 'This is it. This is our moment.' We were down 13...and we said can't let this one slip away...we haven't lost on this field since 2014 against NC State and today wasn't going to be the day." (Carolina Blue)
