Shutting down QB is key for UNC
Posted Sep 30, 2005
In North Carolina’s 31-24 win against N.C. State last week, the Tar Heels used heavy pressure to sack State QB Jay Davis six times and shut down the Wolfpack running attack. But the Tar Heels face a two-headed monster this week in Utah QB Brian Johnson. In just four games, the sophomore has used a strong arm and quick feet to compile 1,170 total yards and 10 touchdowns.
