Was Yuri Yenga playing last night? If not that really gives me hope for the rest of the season, atleast on the defensive side of the ball.

Youri played, but in a very limited role. Would have been nice to have him at 100 percent.

IIRC I heard his name mentioned a number of times. Not sure that he played a great deal but he was playing some.

Kennemer with another huge game...the kid is simply always around the ball. I hope he gets some All-Conference mentions if he keeps this level of play up.

Kennemer laid some heavy hits in the second half. Although the helmetless TCU player's hit was the hit that made the highlight reel on ESPN.
UNC better keep that Ram away from Peruna
