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

Posted Dec 15, 2014

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.
