Jace Ruder Provides Spark, Adds Another Chapter in UNC's QB Saga

Jace Ruder replaced junior starter Nathan Elliott in the second quarter against Georgia Tech and immediately sparked the Tar Heel offense. The 6-foot-2 Kansas native directed an eight-play, 85-yard drive and capped it with a nine-yard dagger to tight end Carl Tucker for a touchdown.
