Heels beat up on Utes

Posted Oct 2, 2005

Marvin Sanders had finished most of his final instructions by the time North Carolina head coach John Bunting arrived back at the team hotel a few minutes after 10 Friday night. But Bunting caught the most important message that his defensive coordinator delivered. Flashing on the final page of Sanders' PowerPoint presentation was the number 669 - a simple but effective reminder of the hurting Utah had put on the Tar Heels' helpless defense last season in Salt Lake City.
