Missouri defense prepares in earnest for North Carolina

Posted Dec 17, 2011
Learning to stop North Carolina’s offense begins with figuring out how to contain freshman running back Giovani Bernard, who is the first Tar Heel to rush for more than 1,000 yards since 1997. When Bernard goes more than 100 yards, the Tar Heels are 5-1. When he doesn’t, they’re 2-4. Texas is the most similar offense to North Carolina that Missouri has seen this season, which on some level bodes well for the Tigers. (Columbia Missourian)
