Posted Oct 10, 2011
North Carolina middle linebacker Fabby Desir prepared all week to make his first start Saturday against Louisville. Desir just wasn’t quite sure what to prepare for. “We just had to adjust to what they were running, because obviously their offensive coordinator got fired in the middle of the week, so we didn’t know what was coming to us,” Desir said.
