UNC defense gets lift
Posted Jan 5, 2010
UNC should have the best defense in ACC football for the 2010 season. That much was settled Monday when five key juniors announced their intentions to bypass the NFL draft. Add in sophomore end Robert Quinn, who rates as first-round draft material in 2011, and it's for certain UNC will have the talent to clear the eight-win barrier, contend for the ACC Coastal Division title and have an even chance to win its opener against LSU in Atlanta.
