UNC Football Tougher Thanks To More Tackling & Physicality

Posted Apr 27, 2022
The Tar Heels missed 132 tackles last football season, which is just more than 10 per game. That isn’t a horrible number, but they definitely had some poor games in which this issue was costly. So, this spring, the Tar Heels hit. And they hit some more, and kept hitting. "We got way more physical than last year," junior defensive lineman Myles Murphy said. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
