Storylines: The Fourth Quarter

Posted Aug 26, 2010
The UNC defense had a stellar season, finishing sixth in the country. But it did allow seven fourth-quarter touchdowns in 11 FBS games compared to 14 in all other quarters combined. Five of those touchdowns came in five losses. "We felt like in the fourth quarter, the defense kind of let down their guards a little bit. We've got to play four quarters of football and the fourth quarter is the most important," Kendric Burney said. (Tar Heel Blue)
