Tar Heels happy to have extra time

Posted Nov 6, 2012
The timing of North Carolina’s bye week was both good and bad. It meant the Tar Heels had to play nine games without a break, but it also meant the defense got two weeks to prepare for Georgia Tech’s triple-option offense before Saturday’s game at Kenan Stadium (12:30 p.m.). “I typically don’t like an off week this late in the season,” UNC coach Larry Fedora said.
