Does UNC boast the best cornerback duo in college football?

There have been many great duos in all of pop culture and sports: Tom and Jerry, Batman and Robin, Jordan and Pippen, and now M. J. Stewart and Des Lawrence. I know, it’s sacrilege to put them in the same breath as Tom and Jerry but let’s do it. These are two of the best corners in the country, forming possibly the best cornerback duo in the country.

It’s no surprise to anyone that UNC ranked 95 out of 127 in total defense in 2015. This poor ranking, however, had nothing to do with the defensive back play of the Tar Heels, seeing that the Heels ranked 18th in passing yards allowed per game.
