The North Carolina Tar Heels will be looking to bounce back this weekend against Georgia Tech and will need another solid defensive performance to do so.
After a stunning loss to the Virginia Cavaliers that derailed their playoff hopes, UNC will need a dominating performance to get back on track. A lot went wrong this weekend against UVA in time of possession, with the Cavalier’s offense having the ball for 37:06 minutes vs the Tar Heels for 22:54 minutes of possession.
Much like Virginia, the Yellow Jackets should be a concern for UNC as they will be on the road against a team whose 3-4 record downplays their talent. If UNC wants to avoid back-to-back losses regaining their momentum, they will need to do a few things on the defensive side.
Here are the defensive keys to success for the Tar Heels to jump back on track.
