Gene Chizik looking for solutions after nightmare game for his UNC defense

Posted Sep 5, 2022
Like in Gene Chizik’s first stint as defensive coordinator at UNC, his goal is to keep opponents in front of his defensive players and give up short gains in order to limit the number of big plays. The cliché is "bend but not break." But there was a lot of breakage in the Tar Heels’ 63–61 win at App State, particularly in the Mountaineers’ 40-point fourth quarter. (Tar Heel Tribune)
