Tommy Thigpen's Take: UNC's 2020 Defense

Posted May 5, 2020
UNC closed strong defensively in 2019, allowed 10 points per game in its final three contests. The intent to improve week-by-week still exists as the 2020 season approaches, although the foundation is now in place. UNC co-defensive coordinator and outside linebackers coach, Tommy Thigpen, expects his defense to be one of the best in the ACC. (Inside Carolina)
