In A Time Of Need, 3 Linebackers Becoming A Thing For UNC
Posted Oct 8, 2019
In the last two games, UNC has used three linebackers at the same time almost exclusively. In those two games, Chazz Surratt has played 107 total snaps, Jeremiah Gemmel 105, and Dominique Ross 87. For Jay Bateman’s depleted defense, the objective is to win games, so tweaking the approach to maximize the talent on the field is the mission.
