UNC's secondary showing improvement, tough test ahead
Posted Oct 9, 2008

For now, the Tar Heels will have to settle for leading the nation with 12 interceptions. North Carolina's defense has been much more effective creating turnovers this season, but will need more from the secondary heading into Saturday's game against Notre Dame
