UNC defense shows signs of encouragement

Posted Sep 17, 2017
UNC's defense hoped for a confidence boost against the Monarchs. That's what the Tar Heels found, for the most part, in a 53-23 victory, one in which they blitzed early and often to overpower an ODU offense that ranked 108th nationally in total offense entering Saturday. "That's the defense we know we are," said M.J. Stewart after UNC surrendered 316 yards to the Monarchs. (GoHeels.com)
