Tar Heels again face air apparent

Posted Nov 7, 2009
For the second time in the past three weeks, the North Carolina football team will face the top passing offense in the ACC. But this time around, the Tar Heels' seventh-ranked defense is hoping to do a better job of silencing Duke's air attack than it did in a loss to Florida State two weeks ago. In that game, FSU quarterback Christian Ponder picked apart UNC's secondary for 395 yards and three touchdowns. (Durham Herald-Sun)
