ECU's offensive output leaves Tar Heel defense with questions

Posted Sep 29, 2013
While UNC has given up more points in games during the short tenure of coach Larry Fedora, Saturday's 55-31 loss might represent its defensive low point. East Carolina brought in an offense geared toward shredding Conference USA's softer defenses and didn't skip a beat when it faced one from the ACC. The Pirates' 603 yards of total offense was its seventh-highest tally in school history. (Fayetteville Observer)
