Matt Baker thankful to be UNC's starting quarterback this season

Posted Jul 25, 2005

North Carolina's starting quarterback isn't even considered a fringe candidate for the Heisman, O'Brien or Unitas awards. But all that matters to the senior is that he's finally listed atop the depth chart for the Tar Heels, which at least will give him a chance to be noticed by NFL scouts. (Tallahassee Democrat)
