Even coach Larry Fedora likes Tar Heels' effort in win over Illinois

Posted Sep 20, 2015
When the game is going on, UNC coach Larry Fedora usually prefers to keep his gruff exterior intact. If you make a good play, don't look for him to be the one to send congratulations your way. But during the course of his Tar Heels' 48-14 rout of Illinois, even he had to break character. "He was there congratulating the defense every time we came off the field," UNC cornerback Des Lawrence said. (Fayetteville Observer)
