This week North Carolina travels to Miami, a team that UNC coach Everett Withers says is tough and talented. Miami, who is shorthanded because of the program being under fire, hung with Virginia Tech last week before falling. So, here’s the big question for Carolina this week.<\/p>\n
QUESTION: What do you need to do with that offense to get it cranked back up to where it was playing before that Louisville game?<\/p>\n
COACH EVERETT WITHERS: Well, I give a lot of
\ncredit to Louisville. We had a block here, block
\nthere. All it takes is one guy not fitting the block
\nreal well for a play to not go nearly as far. There
\nwere two plays that our running back did, that Gio
\nmissed a hole. One of them would have been a
\n20, 25, maybe even longer plus gain that he just
\nflat missed the hole.<\/p>\n
So there are circumstances in every game
\nwhen you’re playing good defenses. You just want
\nto be able to stay consistent, run the ball, and be
\nefficient in the passing game. We ran the ball
\nbetter. We had over 200 yards in the second half.
\nGio broke a hundred yards in the second half.<\/p>\n
I think people think you’ve got to be
\ngashing people in the run game for the run game
\nto be successful. I don’t believe that. I think the
\nrun game is something you do when you want to
\ncontrol the clock. Run the ball, keep the ball away
\nfrom your opponent and eat up yards and try to
\nscore in the red zone. I think we’re doing that.
\nWe didn’t do that efficiently last week, so
\nwe’ve got to make sure we’re better, and I think
\nthat’s what we’re working on this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
