Matt Baker’s backup still unknown


The Tar Heels’ backup quarterback situation looks as tenuous as ever heading into Saturday’s season opener against No. 17 Georgia Tech. As of Tuesday, UNC coach had not decided whether redshirt freshman or walk-on sophomore will back up Baker in Atlanta. Neither player has played a snap in college — the two players likely would have battled for third-string duties had not undergone season-ending back surgery Aug. 24. (Daily Tar Heel)
