North Carolina's offensive line wants to make statement in 2016

North Carolina’s offense was among the best in the nation last season, and it all started up front with a terrific offensive line. As the group looks ahead to 2016 without leader Landon Turner, we caught up with right tackle Jon Heck about whether the Tar Heels’ O-line can actually improve this season.

Q. Landon Turner was such a great leader for you guys last year, building the chemistry on that O-line. Can that carry over even without him?

A. Absolutely. Landon was our leader last year, but we also created a culture -- as a team as a whole and especially in the O-line room.
