Posted Apr 12, 2023
Gene Chizik is feeling the positive vibes around the UNC defense ahead of the 2023 season. After last season’s disaster of a defense, which somehow didn’t hamper the Tar Heels from getting to the ACC title game, Chizik is hoping to put out a better unit for Mack Brown’s squad this season..“I expect us to live up to what our athletic potential is,” said Chizik.
