Jay Bateman Explains Why He Knew The Pop Pass Was Coming From Duke, And More

Posted Oct 28, 2019
UNC Defensive Coordinator Jay Bateman on UNC's game-saving interception: "The advantage I had was I’ve defended those guys. This is was my fifth year in a row, so I have some carry over knowledge. They beat us 13-7 at Duke in 2016 and they beat me on a pop pass. So when I saw the formation I was pretty confident that’s what we were getting." (Heels Maven)
