Keys to Improving UNC's Scoring Defense

Posted Aug 31, 2015
For all of the fanfare surrounding Gene Chizik, his 4-3 scheme and his change in philosophy, the defense’s improvement in 2015 will be measured by one statistic: scoring defense. The Tar Heels set ACC single-season records for most points allowed (507) and most touchdowns allowed (67) in 2014. UNC allowed 39.8 points per game against FBS opponents and 46.6 points per game in its seven losses. (Inside Carolina)
