Fedora open to scrapping 4-2-5 scheme for more traditional defensive alignment

Posted Dec 15, 2014
While Larry Fedora said that the Tar Heels will stick with their same basic defense against Rutgers, he added that it was possible Dan Disch might throw in a few new wrinkles. According to safety tim Scott, one change has already been made that will help UNC’s performance in Detroit. “The corners and safeties are in the same [film] room now, back to how we used to have it,” Scott said.
