Heels need to stay in takeaway mode
Posted Oct 12, 2009
UNC's defense had been itching for some turnovers. It got 'em during its 42-12 rout against Georgia Southern. Bruce Carter, Zach Brown, Kendric Burney and Gene Robinson grabbed interceptions, while Quan Sturdivant and E.J. Wilson recovered fumbles. Not bad for a team that had previously forced only seven turnovers -- although it should be noted that of the 13 turnovers forced this season, 10 have come against FCS teams.
