Coastal Division: 3. North Carolina - Quarterback Sam Howell is off to the NFL, leaving Drake Maye and Jacolby Criswell to battle for the starting nod under center. Improvement also is needed along the offensive line after allowing 49 sacks in ’21. Gene Chizik returns to Chapel Hill to take over a defensive that allowed 32.1 points per game last season.
