UNC-ECU: Between The Lines
Posted Sep 19, 2009
The Tar Heels put up 433 yards of offense against ECU; against Connecticut they managed only 233. The offense was patient and kept the Pirate defense guessing. Early on UNC relied on short passes, but those short passes gashed the Pirates’ defense and prevented them from going full bore against quarterback T.J. Yates. “We knew we’d get our shots downfield,” Yates said.
