UNC's Safeties Solidifying Secondary

Posted Oct 13, 2018
North Carolina’s safeties have performed at a high level through four games. The Tar Heels have allowed 6.4 yards per pass attempt, which ranks second in the ACC behind Miami. The Tar Heels’ 123.6 defensive passer rating is also on track to be the lowest since 2015. The safeties represent a strong portion of that success as J.K. Britt leads UNC in pass coverage rating.
