UNC defense takes strides in road loss Posted Oct 1, 2007 The same defense that allowed 37 points and 234 passing yards to South Florida a week earlier had changed their fortune on Saturday against Virginia Tech. They held the Hokies to 17 points and 76 passing yards and gained a little bit of swagger that was absent the week before. The defense's day came against a Virginia Tech offense still searching for success - especially in the passing game. (Daily Tar Heel)
