UNC's offense working to catch up to its D

Posted Apr 8, 2010
For the past three seasons under coach Butch Davis, UNC has never finished better than 92nd in the country in total offense. Aside from the highlight-reel plays by former wideout Hakeem Nicks, the Tar Heels’ offense has existed in relative obscurity. The defense, meanwhile, reached a peak last year finishing sixth in the country in total defense. This year, Davis is looking for better balance. (ESPN.com)
