UNC defense shows potential, even while relying on 4-2-5 instead of 4-3

Posted Sep 5, 2015
The results were significantly different, even if the scheme wasn't. North Carolina displayed an improved defense in the debut for new coordinator Gene Chizik, who has replaced a 4-2-5 base alignment with a 4-3, but a go-ahead touchdown run early in the fourth quarter lifted South Carolina to a 17-13 victory in the Belk College Kickoff at Bank of America Stadium on Thursday night.
