Defensive Lock Down
Posted Dec 28, 2013
UNC disrupted Cincinnati’s vaunted passing attack with immense pressure up front and six defensive backs consistently on the field in its 39-17 win in the Belk Bowl on Saturday. UNC held Cincinnati to a season-low 349 yards of offense. The Bearcats were held below 200 passing yards (181) for only the second time this season despite averaging 313.8 passing yards per game (15th nationally).
