UNC football prepares to face The Citadel's triple-option offense

Dwelling on the past can undermine a team’s ability to prepare for the future.

Coming off an upset loss to Duke last week, it seems especially important for the North Carolina football team looking forward.

“You can’t let one loss become two losses,” senior cornerback Des Lawrence said.

But the best way for the Tar Heels to prepare for next week might be to look back two.

UNC (7-3, 5-2 ACC) is tasked with stopping the triple-option offense of The Citadel (10-0), a team that ranks No. 6 in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
