In Defense of the Offense

JimmyNaismith · Nov 17, 2022

A Facebook friend made a post pointing out that UNC's offense hasn't faced any good defenses this season. The truth is that half of UNC's opponents so far are in the Top 50 in Total Defense.

#15 Pitt (UNC gained 474yds)
#24 @App State (567)
#26 Notre Dame (367)
#43 @Miami (470)
#44 @Virginia (455)

UNC is #4 in Total Offense, and their average production against Top 50 defenses (467yds) alone would rank them at #18.

Upcoming UNC opponents and their Total Defense ranks:

#96 Ga. Tech
#19 NCSU
#32 Clemson
