UNC Looks To Limit Catastrophic Plays
Posted Sep 1, 2015
UNC’s defense understands that big plays are a part of the game of football. It’s the catastrophic plays that they look to eliminate. “There’s big plays, which are like, 14-to-16-yard plays, and then there’s catastrophic plays, which are your 60-70-80-yard plays,” linebacker Shakeel Rashad explained. Eliminating catastrophic plays has been a focal point of the Tar Heels.
