While the focus has been on the offense for the North Carolina Tar Heels in their second stint under head coach Mack Brown, we shouldn’t ignore what this defense could do in 2019.
The Tar Heels are hoping their defense improves in 2019 and that all starts up front with what is a talented defensive line. UNC lost Jalen Dalton, Malik Carney, and Jeremiah Clarke to graduation, all key players on the defensive line last season. But they do return some talent and could be a big factor to the success this season.
Defensive coordinator Jay Bateman is in his first year with the program and we should see some different looks along the front seven from years past.
