Masters of disguise: Tar Heels used deception vs. Clemson to avoid picking a poison

Posted Oct 1, 2019
Two times in the past two seasons, Jay Bateman’s defense has done the unthinkable. In 2018, Army went to Oklahoma and limited the Sooners and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray to 355 yards — well under the 668.5 they ended up averaging. On Saturday, Bateman’s defense did it again against Clemson as they managed just 331 yards. (Heels Maven)
