Matt Baker is as healthy as he's been since the first game of the season -- and he still limps around the locker room at Kenan Stadium every day after practice. It's been that kind of year for North Carolina's senior starting quarterback. Baker sprained his right ankle near the end of UNC's season-opening loss at Georgia Tech, then suffered bruised ribs the next week against Wisconsin after he took some big hits. (Durham Herald-Sun)
