North Carolina's defensive line looks for more explosiveness
Posted Apr 6, 2016
Gene Chizik plans to let his defense off the leash a bit more, particularly on early downs. A year ago, UNC blitzed just 17 percent of the time on first and second down, the lowest rate in the ACC. This year, that number should climb. “We can be more aggressive,” Chizik said, “and looking back at last year, that probably would have helped us.”
