CHAPEL HILL
North Carolina defensive tackle Nazair Jones, like most people, expected the Tar Heels to dominate Delaware – a Football Subdivision Championship (FCS) level school – in every phase of the game Saturday.
However, when it came to the guys up front, the Tar Heels didn’t exactly play up to expectations.
Delaware (1-3) created holes for its running backs, who ran through them, racking up 279 yards rushing on 49 carries. The Tar Heels (3-1) still won, however, 41-14, but the game remained close through the first three quarters when it probably shouldn’t have.
