Turner's Take: On MOBPs, BPs and Streakbusting

Posted Sep 16, 2011
Everett Withers said upon looking at game film of the win over Rutgers, the coaching staff identified four missed opportunities for big plays, or ‘MOBPs.’ Three were on defense - a chance for a turnover that didn’t happen - and one in the kicking game. “Our kids know that term,” he said. “They know ‘MOBP’ like they can wake up to it in the morning, so we’ll continue to get better, and we’ll work on them.” (Tar Heel Blue)
