UNC gets set for USC’s 'D’

Posted Oct 9, 2007

After three straight weeks of playing teams with fast, aggressive, top-30 defenses, you'd think North Carolina would pretty much know what's coming when South Carolina visits Kenan Stadium on Saturday. Not so, according to coach Butch Davis. "This is a totally different conceptual picture," Davis said of the Gamecocks' defense. "We have not played anybody thus far this year that lines up like South Carolina." (Greensboro News & Record)
