Gene Chizik had seen just about everything in the three decades since he first took a college coaching job. That was until UNC’s game at App State, where the Tar Heels won despite surrendering 40 points in the fourth quarter. Now the Tar Heels’ defensive coordinator is trying to fix problems that led to a final-quarter "implosion" against the Mountaineers. (Associated Press)
