Chapel Hill, N.C. ----- University of North Carolina linebacker Chase Rice injured his ankle in the first half of Carolina's 37-14 victory over James Madison and will require season-ending surgery.
"I'm disappointed for Chase and for our program," said head coach Butch Davis. "He was significant on special teams and played well in the ball game Saturday. I hate losing him.
A junior from Asheville, N.C., Rice started at outside linebacker and made one tackle and broke up a pass that led to an interception. True freshman Bruce Carter will start in his place Saturday against East Carolina.
