Tar Heels having trouble creating turnovers

Posted Oct 1, 2009
The Tar Heels' defense has been their strength this season, holding opponents to 250.5 yards per game (14th in the nation) and 14.2 points (19th). But one area where it has fallen short is in creating turnovers. After four weeks, UNC (3-1, 0-1 ACC) ranks ninth in the league in turnover margin, at minus-3. And only one of its four interceptions has come against a Football Bowl Subdivision team. (Raleigh News & Observer)
