Ten (semi)-bold predictions for the 2015 ACC football season

Posted Aug 21, 2015
UNC’s defense will improve by at least 10 points per game under new coordinator Gene Chizik. The combination of a fresh start, the new 4-3 scheme and some upgraded, young talent should allow the Tar Heels to hold their opponents to at least 29 points per game this season. That’s enough of an improvement to win 7-8 games this season given the weapons they have on offense. (Wilmington Star News)
