Tar Heels get tough as Virginia looms

Posted Sep 16, 2021
While the Tar Heels have a deep defensive line, Mack Brown needs to see more from them. "We’ve still got to create more sacks. We missed seven tackles in space, and we’re not getting the sacks we need. We’ve still got to improve in that area." That will be a challenge against an experienced Virginia offensive line that returns everyone from last year. (North State Journal)
