The North Carolina Tar Heels and their renewed defense under Geoff Collins, giving up 16.3 points per game in the last three contests, head into Chestnut Hill to face off with the Eagles of Boston College. UNC is 3-3 in the conference and BC 2-4, but it’s sure to be a tough challenge.
Mack said he was glad they weren’t forced to simply outscore the other team as has been the case in previous seasons when it seemed to all rely on the quarterbacks. But this game UNC scored a defensive TD (on Power Echols’ pick-six).
He talked about being happy to be bowl eligible although he was disappointed UNC didn’t put Wake away when it had an opportunity up 31-17.
