Missouri's spread presents a challenge for UNC
Posted Dec 26, 2011
When sophomore defensive end Kareem Martin and his teammates on the North Carolina defense began to study film of Missouri, they knew the Tigers ran a spread offense. What they didn't know, however, is just how much Monday's Independence Bowl opponent relied on its running game. "With it being a spread team, you expect a lot more passing, but they surprisingly run it a lot," Martin said.
