UNC defense is "ready to roll"
Posted Oct 29, 2015
Sitting at 6-1, UNC heads into the toughest stretch of their schedule, beginning against a stout Pittsburgh team. The Tar Heels are closer to full strength on defense. Defensive backs M.J. Stewart and Mike Hughes return from suspension, while defensive tackles Nazair Jones and Tyler Powell are listed as probable. Dajaun Drennon, a starting defensive end, is listed as questionable.
