Mack Brown’s North Carolina Tar Heels are lucky to get out of Atlanta with a win over Georgia State on Saturday. Despite completing the comeback and moving to 3-0 on the year, the Tar Heels blew a 21-3 lead and found themselves down in the second half.

And it was the same things that have plagued them through the first two games — defense.

After giving up 61 points to Appalachian State last week, the Tar Heels vowed to get better this week. Now, they did make some key plays in the fourth quarter including giving up zero points. So I have to give them credit for that.

However, the defense did struggle for most of the game, leaving some questions that still need to be answered in the coming weeks. The good news is that they have a bye week before hosting Notre Dame in two weeks, so they have time to clean it up.

Here is how Twitter reacted to the defense and how they played today.
