Spring Game: Defense Notebook
Posted Mar 29, 2009
E.J. Wilson had two sacks today, and Quinton Coples had one. The defense didn’t play completely vanilla as it did last spring, and on occasion blitzed. I expected the defensive line to dominate the offensive line more than it did, though UNC did seem to get more pressure off the edge. The first-team defensive line did a good job defending the run. Draughn and Houston got very little on the ground when the first team defense was in.
