Thomas Jackson was supposed to be here. Sophomore wide receiver Anthony Ratliff-Williams couldn’t find the senior receiver on the field during North Carolina’s 53-23 win over Old Dominion on Saturday. Between plays, Jackson left the game. Why would one of UNC’s best receivers be on the bench? Then Ratliff-Williams heard that Jackson suffered an injury. (Durham Herald-Sun)
