UNC Football Peeling Away Layers Of The Penalty Problem

Posted Nov 14, 2020
UNC has been flagged 57 times for 543 yards this season, per-game averages of 8.1 penalties for 77.6 yards. However, 45 infractions occurred over the first five games, so the Heels have been flagged just 12 total times over the last two outings, backing up Mack Brown’s point. The problem, however, is those 12 penalties have been for 149 yards, an average of 12.4 per infraction. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
