UNC football leaders issued challenge of accountability to defense — and it worked Posted Oct 3, 2022 UNC's defense turned a month of frustration into the first complete performance of the 2022 season Saturday. The Tar Heels entered the dreary, rainy, post-Hurricane Ian afternoon at Kenan Stadium giving up an average of 495.2 yards and 39.5 points on defense through four games. But those trends were drastically reduced in a 41-10 rout of Virginia Tech. (Gaston Gazette)
