Tar Heels Dismantle Deacons' D

Posted Oct 18, 2015
Wake Forest was thought to represent North Carolina’s first significant defensive test on Saturday. Instead, the Tar Heels overcame a slow start to gash the Demon Deacons for 9.1 yards per play in a 50-14 statement victory. Wake Forest arrived at Kenan Stadium with the 15th-best defense in the country, statistically, allowing 296 yards per game. Head coach Dave Clawson’s squad had given up just 17.0 points per game.
