North Carolina has lost two games in a row and Coach Everett Withers says that the way to get back on track is to secure the ball. The Tar Heels turned the ball over six times in a 59-38 loss to Clemson last weekend.

“The main thing is just taking care of the ball,” Withers said. “I think if we take care of the ball, we can be as good as any
team in this conference, if we take care of the ball.”

Withers said that his Heels have a good running game and that helps QB Bryn Renner in the passing game. “If we
can keep the ball, we don’t have to play as many snaps on defense,” he said. “It helps our young secondary on defense. It’s just been a matter of turnovers, not turning it over and giving our defense a chance to make some, and that’s been a big emphasis for us.”
