Enjoy This Defense

- Offense: Bill Belichick and Bobby Petrino come from opposite sides of the football, but the two are in constant communication as they work to get UNC’s offense on track.

The Numbers Behind UNC’s Secondary Struggles Against Clemson
- Against Clemson, North Carolina cut corner Tre Miller, a starter in its first two games, to nine snaps. Safety Peyton Waters instead played 54 corner snaps opposite Jaiden Patterson after only two earlier career snaps there, while Coleman Bryson filled Waters' safety spot for all 72 defensive plays. Those are Clemson-game alignments, not a permanent depth-chart announcement.
- The 247Sports article cites Clemson-game PFF overall grades of 47.3 for UNC safety Coleman Bryson and 34.4 for corner Jaiden Patterson. Bryson allowed four catches on four targets for 63 yards and a TD with five missed tackles; Patterson allowed three on seven for 55 yards. These are article-cited game results, not independently read PFF data or a benching decision.
- UNC slot defender Kaleb Cost played 44 snaps against Clemson, allowing one catch on two targets for 13 yards with a pass breakup. Freshman Kenton Dopson III played 11 snaps and allowed one catch on two targets for three yards. These observed contributions do not establish either player's next-game snap share.

NOAH: UNC Has Its Workhorse Running Back. It Just Needs to Let Him Be One
- Against Clemson in 2026, North Carolina back Benjamin Hall had 11 carries for 77 yards by halftime. The column says UNC used Demon June on a first-down run backed near its own goal line in the third quarter, and June fumbled. The writer argues for more Hall work; no coach announced a rotation change.
- Through three 2026 games, Benjamin Hall has UNC's best overall PFF grade at 81.8 and is its highest-graded pass-blocking back, according to the article. Demon June has four touchdowns in a goal-line role. These are current contributions within UNC's rotation, not a newly named lead back or promised carry split.
