UNC Football Q&A: Kaimon Rucker

Posted Oct 20, 2023
What is the difference between the 2022 and 2023 Tar Heel defenses? Kaimon Rucker: "First, it's our confidence. Last year was our first season under coach Chizik and his scheme and I felt we spent most of last year continuing to understand it. Now, we understand his defense and are able to wreak havoc. It's a blend of confidence and good coaching." (GoHeels.com)
