Matt Baker surpassing expectations
Posted Oct 15, 2005
Heading into the season, questions surrounding North Carolina's football team centered on quarterback Matt Baker. Was he good enough to give the Tar Heels a chance to win? Could a guy who has sat on the bench his whole career command the respect of his teammates? Would he be able to do more than hand off the ball and manage a game? Five games into the regular season, it's safe to put a check mark in the box for yes, yes and yes.
