UNC defense looks to develop swagger

Posted Sep 2, 2009
When Butch Davis coached at Miami, his defenses weren't shy about telling opponents how good they were. Linebacker Quan Sturdivant sees signs that his North Carolina team is developing a similar self-confidence. "We're going out there, trying to get a little bit of a swagger," Sturdivant said with a wry smile. Now the Tar Heels hope to give themselves something to brag about. (WRAL Sports Fan)
