Bunting seeks better defense

Posted Oct 13, 2005

North Carolina was doomed from the start on many plays at Louisville, and not just because Cardinals sophomore Brian Brohm was the nation's top-rated quarterback prospect in high school. Coach John Bunting estimated one or two players lined up out of position on about half the Tar Heels' defensive snaps in Saturday's 69-14 loss. "They took advantage of a lot of mistakes we made on defense," Bunting said. "They made some big plays, and obviously we made some turnovers, too." (Charlotte Observer)
