The Players Ineligible For The Tar Heels

In all 12 players are either suspended or being held out of the big game versus the 21st ranked LSU tomorrow and of those six are defensive starters. And to make matters worst UNC is still waiting to establish the eligibility of three other defensive starters (senior linebacker Quan Sturdivant, senior linebacker Bruce Carter and senior safety Deunta Williams), which means 15 players could possibly be held out of the game and a whopping nine of their eleven defensive starters. Can you say, damnmnnnnn!

Those that have been ruled ineligible and suspended are: defensive tackle Marvin Austin, cornerback Charles Brown, cornerback Kendric Burney, wide receiver Greg Little, defensive end Michael McAdoo and defensive end Robert Quinn.

Those being held out of the game for precautionary reasons are: tailback Shaun Draughn, defensive end Linwan Euwell, safety Brian Gupton, tailback Ryan Houston, safety Da’Norris Searcy and safety Jonathan Smith.
