UNC Football Preview: Georgia Tech’s Triple Option Always a Test

Posted Oct 2, 2015
For the first time during Head Coach Larry Fedora’s four-year tenure, the UNC Football team is 3-1 after its first four games. This week the Tar Heels take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta—a place they have not won since 1997. To come away with the victory, UNC will have to show improvement in its run defense—which ranks 113th in the nation–against Tech’s triple-option offensive system. (Chapelboro.com)
