UNC defense shows potential, even while relying on 4-2-5 instead of 4-3

Posted Sep 5, 2015

North Carolina displayed an improved defense in the debut for new coordinator Gene Chizik, who has replaced a 4-2-5 base alignment with a 4-3, but a go-ahead touchdown run early in the fourth quarter lifted South Carolina to a 17-13 victory in the Belk College Kickoff at Bank of America Stadium on Thursday night.
