CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina's defense has struggled to get off the field all season. Now the Tar Heels are facing an offense — and a Georgia Tech team — that has befuddled them for years. The Yellow Jackets (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won five straight and 14 of 16 meetings heading into Saturday's game, including a 68-50 win in Chapel Hill two years ago that stands as the highest-scoring game in league history.
