Getting defensive

Posted Sep 8, 2006

After a 21-16 loss to Rutgers last week, in which the defense allowed running back Ray Rice to gain 201 yards, the defense is once again facing tough questions. "We just take it as a kinda wake-up call, kinda an eye-opener. Just saying, 'Look we know what we did wrong. Let's get it right. Let's do it right," senior linebacker Larry Edwards said. Edwards said the loss against Rutgers was a learning experience and a chance for the defense to learn how it does not want to play. (Daily Tar Heel)
