UNC vs NC Central: Position Grades, Part 2 - Defense, Special Teams, Coaching

One drive into Saturday’s game against North Carolina Central, UNC fans everywhere must have been experiencing a powerful sense of déjà vu. The Eagles weren’t getting a ton in the run game, but with the help of a couple of UNC penalties, marched down the field, targeted Kaleb Cost for a big play in the passing game, and then ran it in from five yards out to take an early lead.

Let’s break it down, followed by looks at the special teams and the operations.
