Head-to-Head: UNC-Wake Forest

Posted Oct 26, 2007

The Tar Heels are allowing 141.29 yards per game on the ground this fall, but they have reduced that number in recent contests against Miami and South Carolina, holding those teams to 109 and 110 yards, respectively. Linebacker Durell Mapp (76 tackles, five tackles for loss) and safety Deunta Williams (39 tackles) have played significant roles in plugging the running lanes for opposing tailbacks.
