Posted Sep 7, 2023
North Carolina’s defense looked different in its opener compared to last season. This weekend’s game against the Appalachian State Mountaineers offers another chance to show how much has changed. The 17th-ranked Tar Heels (1-0) opened against South Carolina with a strong performance from a defense that struggled to stop anybody last year. (Associated Press)
