“I thought the story for us again as it often has been all season was the play of the defense. They played extraordinarily well. Their ability to go out and hold them inside the 30 or so yard line and hold them to two field goals is monumental. The defense was outstanding throughout the whole ...

North Carolina's defense wasn't perfect on Saturday, but the Tar Heels executed when they needed to the most -- on third down. Boston College failed to convert all 13 of its third-down opportunities in its 31-13 loss. Maybe the only way this win could have been uglier would have been if it had ...

After the excitement of the first ten minutes, the ensuing non-action could have lulled the Tar Heel defense to sleep. After all, between Kendric Burney's pick six and Cam Thomas' fumble return touchdown, they'd done a lot of work to get that lead themselves. But knowing that eight points might ...
