UNC will be short one receiver for Saturday's opener against The Citadel. Sophomore Dwight Jones will miss the game with a knee injury.
Jones, listed as the starter opposite Greg Little, will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Friday, according to a UNC release. His return will be determined after the surgery.
Freshman Joshua Adams will likely start in Jones' place.

Not that I am looking past this first game, I mean State was supposed to beat S.C. and that didn't happen. State's offense was supposded to be unstoppable and that didn't happen. State's defense was supposed to be terrible, but they held an "SEC opponent" to just 7 points, etc....
Now, back to UNC, I can't to see what A.J. can do. Go "D" if you know what I mean, but save if for when it is needed.
Best of luck

HUH??
