This time, UNC goes for 'the cheese' and doesn't get late break on defense

Posted Oct 20, 2008
After further review, North Carolina's defensive backs "bit the cheese" for the first time this season late in Saturday's loss to Virginia. "You've heard us, kind of halfway joking about 'not biting the cheese;' about not jumping underneath routes, not jumping shallow routes and make sure you keep the ball in front of you," UNC coach Butch Davis said Sunday. "Unfortunately, we didn't do it in the two-minute drill." (Durham Herald-Sun)
