UNC defense can't handle Tigers
Posted Dec 27, 2011
Before Monday, North Carolina prided itself on its run defense. After faltering early in the season, the Tar Heels had grown stingier, nastier against opposing teams’ running offenses.But as Missouri showed during its 41-24 victory against UNC in the Independence Bowl, the Tar Heels are far less effective against the run when they’re out of position, chasing players without the ball while the one with it goes by, untouched.
