UNC's Defense Look to Pass Match Rush With Coverage

Posted Sep 15, 2023
"Our plan this week is to play a lot of press, tighten the windows so (Minnesota's quarterback) can’t get hot," UNC cornerback Marcus Allen said. He also noted that the defensive line and secondary need to work in tandem. "As a DB, we love when a D-lineman rushes the passer; it makes our jobs easier." Defensive coordinator Gene Chizik agreed.
