Confident Matt Baker Ready To Lead Tar Heels

Posted Jul 25, 2005

Matt Baker was hit with questions from every angle Sunday about his ability to lead North Carolina's offense in 2005. The senior quarterback rifled back answer after answer without flinching. "I like people doubting me," Baker told the media during the ACC Football Kickoff at the Homestead Resort. "I like to be the underdog. You can always surprise people when they don't expect anything out of you. But I expect a lot out of myself." (Tar Heel Blue)
