UConn Needs Big Effort From Defensive Line
Posted Sep 10, 2009
The order is tall. The concerns are many. But the UConn defensive line intends to do its part in keeping the North Carolina offense at bay Saturday at Rentschler Field. There are other things to consider, such as punt protection and questions about how the offense will offset one of the nastiest front sevens it will see all season. The Tar Heels blocked three punts and intercepted three passes in a 38-12 win over UConn last year.
