Tar Heels Still Not Getting Much Out Of Punt Returns

Posted Oct 19, 2020
UNC's opponents have punted 23 times this season, with one a quick kick by Virginia Tech, so that’s 22 punt return opportunities. Dazz Newsome has been on the field for 21 of them, but he’s either let the ball roll or fair caught the rest. Overall, and this includes a fair catch by Toe Groves vs. BC, the Tar Heels have not returned their opponents’ last 11 punts. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
