Schoettmer, Tar Heel Defense Ready to Leave Mark on 2014

Posted Aug 5, 2014
The much maligned Carolina football defense picked up steam at the close of the 2013 season. Following the 55 points surrendered against East Carolina, the Tar Heels held all of their remaining nine opponents under 30 points. This year, veteran linebacker Jeff Schoettmer and company are ready to build off that momentum and turn some heads on the defensive side of the ball. (Chapelboro.com)
