CHAPEL HILL -- It's not often that you hear a group of 300-pound offensive linemen called "a little thin." But that was the only phrase that Tar Heels offensive tackle Alan Pelc could use to describe North Carolina's unit this season, which has seen its depth chart shrink uncomfortably since the start of training camp.
"A lot of people were worried about our depth for '09, and we really weren't. We knew we had guys to step up," redshirt freshman offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper said. "But then we've sort of been injury-plagued a little bit, just in the past couple days."
After losing two senior starters from last season to graduation, the Tar Heels already were seeing tight numbers before camp even started. Then Aaron Stahl decided to graduate and leave the program, foregoing a final year of eligibility.
