Two And Oh

I was talking about the San Diego State-North Carolina game with my roommate this morning and he made the comment "At least they won..." When is a win a loss? If the first two games has taught this Tarheel fan anything it's that the Tarheels defense has some major weaknesses. San Diego State kept running up the middle last night to the tune of 168 yards rushing for the game. San Diego State had 509 yards total offense although the 'Heels came away with three interceptions. The 'Heels did not mount much pressure on the QB and only have one sack in two games but have came away with 9 turnovers. I have never been a big fan of the 4-2-5 defense. It might be time for Coach Fedora to try some thing more conventional like a 4-3, especially against running teams. The 'Heels are are not getting any pressure up the middle and the 4-2-5 is not creating the mayhem it is designed to. The 'Heels defense has given up 56 points in two games and they have East carolina, Clemson, Notre Dame, and Virginia Tech as their next 4 opponents. As a lifelong Tarheel fan, I am celebrating the fact that the 'Heels are 2-0. I also realize the team has a lot of work cut out for them.
