Jace Ruder Discusses UNC's Quarterback Battle

Posted Aug 13, 2019
"This is my second training camp, so I think it’s natural to have a little bit of anxiety, a little nervousness because there’s a lot on the line given the fact that there’s three of us going for the job,” UNC quarterback Jace Ruder said. “But, it’s been a blast. We all come in here (and) it’s like a game every day, and that’s the big difference in getting us through it." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
