UNC’s Defense Prevents Terrible History from taking place
Until Saturday, North Carolina was the only team in Division I college football not to record an interception all season long. This past weekend, UNC’s defense intervened in a major.
Tar Heels’ defensive back Dominique Green returned an interception 58 yards for a touchdown; better known as a “pick-six.”
However, UNC’s defense allowed 27 passing yards and 344 total rushing yards from the Citadel. UNC won 41-7, so no beating up the defense will take place. The Tar Heels sit at 8-3 awaiting a bowl game and possibly a berth in the ACC Championship.
The defense needs to focus on in-state rival, N.C. State. They need to intervene again and secure a win for UNC.
