Following then 17th North Carolina losing high scoring affair to Georgia Tech Saturday in Atlanta 46-42 North Carolina Head Coach Mack Brown had this to say!

I didn’t know what to say,” he told reporters afterward. “And I’ve been doing this 35 years … I thought we were beyond that on defense.”

Following then 17th North Carolina losing high scoring affair to Georgia Tech Saturday in Atlanta 46-42 North Carolina linebacker Cedric Gray had this to say!

“I think one of the biggest things, especially in the first half, that I don’t think that we handled really well was the tempo. A lot of times we weren’t able to set up, guys were running around. And I felt like we kind of just looked a little lost as a defense in the first half.” And that was the first half. The second half, “a little bit of the same thing,”

Tempo.”Confused,” he said of the UNC defense. “In my view, it felt like we didn’t know what we were doing defensively.”
