This season, only three defensive backs in college football have 10 or more pass break-ups against Power 5 opponents. Two of them reside in the North Carolina secondary — junior cornerback Des Lawrence and sophomore cornerback M.J. Stewart. In victories over Pittsburgh and Duke, Stewart and Lawrence have combined for 11 pass break-ups.
