Deems & Mark: State of the Heels

Posted Oct 7, 2009
If the Tar Heels can win the battle of special teams and defense, they have a chance to win every game they play. The defense will need to create more turnovers and quite frankly the ball hasn't bounced their way the last two weeks when it was on the ground, but the good thing is that the opportunities have been there. Things are so bad offensively right now that they just need to set small goals such as no turnovers. (Inside Carolina)
