Tudor: Tar Heels ‘focus’ on ‘focus’

Posted Oct 27, 2011
Having committed six turnovers last Saturday in a 59-38 loss at Clemson, it’s obvious where UNC’s emphasis has been during this week’s preparation for Wake Forest. Calling ball security a matter of “focus” and game “mindset,” Tar Heel coach Everett Withers said Thursday afternoon that the team practice each day focusing on ball possession. “We’ve got to just take care of the ball,” Withers said. “It’s about just owning the football.” (Raleigh News & Observer)
