UNC's Safeties Adding Up

Posted Sep 26, 2016
Normally, leading the nation in an offensive statistic is a thing to celebrate. For UNC, though, leading the nation in safeties has not been a point of pride. The Tar Heels gave up their third safety in four games in Saturday’s 37-36 win over Pittsburgh. The safety came off of a jet sweep to Ryan Switzer that resulted in negative five-yard rush and two points for the Panthers. (Inside Carolina)
