Heels rumble by Georgia Southern

Posted Oct 11, 2009
The emphasis on defense in practice this week was pointed: “Take it away, take it away, take it away,’’ North Carolina linebacker Quan Sturdivant said. And by doing that Saturday – six times during a 42-12 blowout victory against Georgia Southern – UNC’s ‘D’ ultimately gave back. Not just to the victory column (4-2), but to the Tar Heels’ confidence. “It was critical for us to get a win,’’ said wide receiver Greg Little. (Raleigh News & Observer)
