Extra Points: White Heat Sears Heels
Posted Dec 29, 2008
Turnovers were cornerstones to the Tar Heels' body of work throughout 2008. John Shoop was relentless in preaching that every offensive possession should end with a kick (a point-after is great, a field goal is good and a punt is okay--but fumbles and interceptions are unacceptable). The defense snared 20 opposing passes, good for seventh nationally, and the Tar Heels were in the top 10 in turnover margin for much of the year until an abysmal six-turnover nightmare against N.C. State.
