UNC’s defense plays well; Tar Heels, Williams pour on the offense in romp at Duke

Posted Nov 7, 2020
For the second time this season, UNC followed up a frustrating loss with a decisive victory. Carolina’s defense made big plays all day, with five sacks — two from Chris Collins — to make it a long day for Duke quarterback Chase Brice. “We played much much better on defense, except for giving up the big runs across the secondary,” Mack Brown said.
