The lack of depth hurt UNC defense against Georgia Tech.

Posted Sep 21, 2010
The staff was very encouraged by the play of Oklahoma transfer Jordan Nix. "Jordan Nix was an unknown commodity. He went in and this was basically his first real opportunity. "When you play Georgia Tech as a defensive tackle, it's not the game you want to cut your teeth on. We felt like that when we looked at the film that he really played solid. He did some really good things." (Tar Heel Blue)
