Linebacker Interceptions Key Resurgent UNC Defense BY JUSTIN SCHEEF STAFF WRITER ATLANTA—When a linebacker sees the ball hurtling toward him unmolested, his eyes get as big as bowling balls. He’s going to grab it and run it as far as he can. Rarely do linebackers get a chance to do this, only in their wildest dreams. Most will never pick off a single pass in their career, let alone rumble downfield with it. UNC inside linebackers Mike Morton and Rick Steinbacher lived out a dream Saturday against Georgia Tech. Both in tercepted Yellow Jacket quarterback Gra ham Stroman, Morton’s coming in the first quarter and Steinbacher’s capping the rout AP Top 25 1. Florida Stall (62) 7-M 1.550 1 2.

Morton and Steinbacher pla toon at the inside linebacker position. The interceptions were sweet rewards to a defense that had been picked apart in recent weeks by the likes of UTEP and Wake Forest, not exactly offensive power houses. Morton's grab was the second consecu tive UNC interception in the red zone in the first stanza. Safety Sean Boyd’s inter ception stymied the Jackets’ first drive and led to UNC's first touchdown. Tech once again drove down the field, but Morton, a junior from Kannapolis, was in the right slot at the right time. Derrick Steagall was running a shallow crossing pattern at the North Carolina 17- TECH FROM PAGE 12 in eight plays, with Stanicek throwing 15 yards to Leon Johnson (20cames, 77 yards) at 5:47 for the game’s first score. Morton stopped Tech’s next drive with an ugly interception. Back-up QB Graham Stroman (8 of 17 for 94 yards) threw an apparent completion to receiver Derrick Steagall. But Steagall ran his crossing pattern right into the umpire as he was about to catch the ball and fell to the ground. The ball bounced offhis leg and into Morton’s hands, who rumbled 34 yards to the Geor gia Tech 44, setting up die second scoring drive. “You would hope they would get out of the way, but it was the third time (the referees) interfered with our shallow cross ing route,” Lewis said. “That’s something we’ve tried to address with the officials, and they have to do a better job.” And in the second half, linebacker Rick Steinbacher intercepted a deflected pass that was more like fair catching a punt. Stroman’s pass deflected off UNC tackle Marcus Jones’ helmet and into the air, where Steinbacher flagged it down at the Tech 41. But the odd interceptions weren’t the only accomplishments forthe defense. The Tar Heels haven’t played as consistent on defense since a 31-9 win against Southern Cal in the Disneyland Pigskin Classic in August. “We had a meeting last Sunday where basically, we knew we weren’t playing well, but we didn’t know why, ” Steinbacher said. You definitely could see a difference today, both in the attitude we played with and also in the execution.” The defense alio wed just 232 total yards in the game, but it can thank the offense for much of that dominance. The Tar Heels, who usually scored quickly and often, held the ball for a 17-play, 96-yard drive that consumed more than half of the third quar ter. “After a while, ” said Y ellow Jacket line backer Jamal Cox, “you’re just kind of worn out.” Hocker said, “We contribute more to the win when we’re on the field longer. They can’t score points when they’re not on the field.” That drive was capped with a Stanicek 1-yard plunge. A Tripp Pignetti field goal his second of the day and his ninth out of 10 attempts this season—and a Maurice McGregor 1-yard run with 3:09 left fin ished the scoring. The win is the largest margin of victoxy for the Tar Heels in an ACC game since Oct. 2, 1982, when the UNC blanked guess who Georgia Tech 41-0. North Carolina now is ranked 12th in the Associ ated Press poll heading into the game with No. 20 Virginia (5-1, 3-1). UVa. lost to undefeated Florida State 40-14 Saturday in Tallahassee. H cl0J lI eHallTah sports yard line. Stroman made a perfect pass into his hands. But Steagall ran into UNC’s newest friend, known to most fans as the umpire. Steagall rammed into Rosario Amatoand lost sight of the ball. It bounced off Steagall’s foot and somehow floated into Morton’s hands. “I was breaking downhill, and he tripped over the referee and the ball popped up,” Morton said. “I said, ‘l’ll take that,’ and kept on running. “I thought it was a little bit of justice because I always have to dodge that guy (the referee).” It was Morton’s second career intercep tion the first one came last year against DTH/DOUG BEHAR Outside linebacker James Hamilton (54) tries to tackle Tech quarterback Graham Stroman (16) Saturday. Stroman, who replaced the injured Donnie Davis after the first series, finished with 94 yards passing. DRIVES FROM PAGE 12 Saturday. In fact, neither Curtis nor Leon hit the 100-yard mark. No problem. Key on a Johnson, the Tar Heels run a fullback trap. Malcolm Marshall and Wil liam Henderson combined for 49 yards. “They’ve got some real good athletes on defense, ” UNC right tackle Ethan Albright said. “Againstteamsthathavespeedyou’re not going to have the breakaway runs. They do a lot of slanting and a lot of movement on the defensive line so we’d just latch up with them and keep running right where they were before.” Clog the middle, and UNC hits a short crossing pattern or dumps a screen to the The LovfsTORY in a word great' Of The Decade; ■< the i : 3o Daniel Day-Lewis Michelle Pfeiffer Winona Rider 4:15 TBe Age of Innocence luck club 9:45 g 1:30 4: 15 - 7:00 9:45 I,AM n WV^'?^ NWI ' gg AN INFORMA TION/QUESTION & ANSWER FORUM FOR POTENTIAL CANDIDA TES INTERESTED IN THIS FIELD PROFESSIONAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COLLEGE GRADUATE IN THE WORLD OF FINANCIAL SALES AREAS OF INDIVIDUAL/CORPORATE ASSISTANCE: Investment Planning Pension Consulting Life/Disability Insurance Counseling Estate Preservation Retirement Planning DATE: October 19th TIME: 6:00 PM LOCATION: Room 209 - Hanes Hall BARON FINANCIAL, INC.

The interception led to UNC’s second touchdown, the second consecutive one off a misfired Tech pass. The Jackets were down 14 points despite moving the ball well. By the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels had all but secured their seventh victory, lead ing by 31 points. But the plan this week was to play four intense quarters on defense to prevent a repeat of Wake Forest’s 22-point fourth quarter barrage last week. Steinbacher, with the aid from UNC defensive tackle Marcus Jones, intercepted Stroman at the Georgia Tech 30-yard line. As Jones pressured Stroman, the pass hit right side. Leon Johnson scored the Tar Heels’ initial TD untouched off a 15-yard screenplay. Stanicek found Corey Holliday and Marcus Wall on quick routes six times. Force a fourth down in your territory, and you still get burned. Holder Jay Boaz flipped a shovel pass to Chris Watson in a field goal formation for a first down in the second quarter. Blitz and you pay even if you put a solid lick on the signal caller. Witness UNC’sthirdtouchdown, where Jamal Cox nailed Stanicek, who promptly threw deep to a wide-open Bucky Brooks for a 34-yard TD strike and a 20-3 lead. “We got them in a blitz, and Bucky is a blitz outlet,” Stanicek said. “I knew they were getting to me so I just threw it up in the air and let Bucky run under it.” Monday, October 18,1993 Jones on the helmet, deflecting the ball high and eventually into the patient hands of Steinbacher. “It was up there for about 30 seconds, ” Steinbachersaid. “Ididn’tthinkitwasever going to come down, but I caught it.” Steinbacher, a senior, immediately was mugged on the ground by senior free safety Bracey Walker. The interception, which led to a field goal, was Steinbacher’s first in football at any level. “That was just one of the greatest feel ings in my life,” Steinbacher said. “Just because Bracey and I are two guys who \ came in together and been through a lot' together. It was just a great emotional moment.” ",\ Stanicek also scrambled for 42 yards, including a 13-yard jaunt that set up a, UNC field goal to close the half. But perhaps the biggest key to North ) Carolina’s clock maintenance was its sue- J cess on third down. “Ithinktheyconvertedeverythird-down [ conversion in the first half," Lewis said. “It’s a game of third downs, and they made 1 them all.” Not quite, but the Tar Heels were a solid j 11 for 15 on third downs. “When we’re in a third down position, we feel we have them right where we want them,” Hickson said. “When they get how many yards they need, that’s an emotional! letdown. i “Then we’re back on the field for an- ’ other series.” w NCNB PLAZA -/967-8284 The Good Son 7:30 *9:30 nightly fR > 2:30 *4:30 Sat/Sun g— M Malice 7:00 •9:15 nightly (R) 2:00 *4:15 Sat/Sun -■' 4 The Beverly Hillbillies 7:30 *9:30 nightly l pfi ) 2:30 *4:30 Sat/Sun V |E EASTERN FEDERAL THEATRES]: MR.
