Saturday Blitz Week 2 ACC Power Rankings
8. North Carolina Tar Heels, 2-0 (0-0), Defeated San Diego State 31-27 Last Weekend
The North Carolina Tar Heels are fortunate to be 2-0 against a terrible team and a mediocre team that they still should have blown out. The defense has managed to keep some of these games way closer than they should be. Being down two scores to San Diego State and needing a fourth quarter comeback against them was embarrassing.
Twice now this team has given up more than 25 points, with the last one being to Liberty. That never should have happened. This time the Tar Heels gave up 27 points and more than 500 yards of offense! The only reason they didn’t surrender more points is because the Aztecs had three turnovers.
Thankfully for the Tar Heels, the offense looks pretty good after scoring 56 points the first game and 31 points the second game, so it is going to be enough to keep UNC pretty good, or so it seems. But for the Tar Heels to move up this list, they have got to get much better on the defensive side of the ball.
They had better work on that this bye week.
