Looking Back at UNC's Two Big Defensive Plays

Posted Sep 8, 2014
While the game was more of a struggle than most though it would be and UNC's defense was gouged for over 500 yards, there were also two key defensive plays that paved the way to a Tar Heel win. The first was Brian Walker's 100-yard interception return for a touchdown. The crucial piece of this play is the pressure on San Diego State QB Quinn Kaehler by Tar Heel linebacker Jeff Schoettmer.
