Captain Baker Is Ready For Role

The fifth-year senior from Michigan will start at quarterback for Carolina, a goal and a carrot that kept him going while he watched Darian Durant rewrite the record books at UNC. Now Baker's time has arrived, and he is excited about the opportunity. (Tar Heel Daily)
