UNC remains hopeful that last season's defensive surge carries over to the fall, giving the Heels the sort of offense-defense balance needed to not just claim the Coastal Division but potentially hang with Florida State or Clemson – well, Florida State – in the conference title game. In specific, the staff is hopeful a reworked, retooled, largely inexperienced and somewhat star-free defensive front can carry the load throughout ACC play. (USA Today)
