5 Takeaways From UNC's WIn Over Syracuse

Posted Sep 12, 2020
Carolina’s defense was outstanding from the first snap, and other than a few plays it missed some tackles, the defense owned the Orange. Syracuse managed just 202 total yards, punted nine times and was only 4-for-19 on third downs. Swarming, sideline-to-sideline fast, and punishing at the line of scrimmage, the Tar Heels were terrific in every aspect of the game. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
