UNC defense has been much improved in ACC play — especially in second half of games

Posted Oct 28, 2022
North Carolina linebacker Cedric Gray said that the defense made it a point of emphasis to improve its second-half play after the Tar Heels’ loss to Notre Dame. The result has been a bright spot in ACC play. The Tar Heels (6-1, 3-0 ACC) enter Saturday’s game against Pitt (4-3, 1-2) having allowed just 21 second-half points in their past three games.
