UNC's defensive effort is Taylor made

Posted Nov 20, 2006

In his final, emotional game at Kenan Stadium, Kareen Taylor turned in one of the best performances of his college career, dashing all over the field to record five tackles and three pass break-ups to go with his two interceptions. To put that into perspective, the Tar Heels had only two picks for the entire season going into the game. Quinton Person added another Saturday. (Raleigh News & Observer)
