Style Clash: High-Powered UNC Offense Meets Stingy Wake Forest Defense

Posted Oct 16, 2015

An unstoppable force—the Tar Heel offense—will collide with an immovable object—the Demon Deacon defense. “They’re gonna fight you all the way to the end,” UNC Head Coach Larry Fedora said about Wake Forest. “There’s no doubt about it. They’re really good on defense. I mean, they’re 15th in the country in total defense right now.” (Chapelboro.com)
