                                                  the defense has to improve by 
                                                  leaps and bounds. Larry Fedora 
                                                  came to Chapel Hill three years 
                                                  ago and most knew the offense 
                                                  was going to thrive. Don't be 
                                                  surprised if these 2015 Heels 
                                                  are at the top of the nation's 
                                                  scoring statistics. They just 
                                                  can't play defense. Hear that 
                                                  coach Fedora? The schedule is 
                                                  set up for an 8 or 9-plus win 
                                                  campaign if the defense can 
                                                  slow down a few of the opponents. 
                                                  Expect the Kenan Stadium scoreboards 
                                                  to light up, this offense is 
                                                  capable of outscoring anyone
