No. 14 UNC faced with slowing a mobile quarterback in Saturday’s visit from Syracuse

Posted Oct 5, 2023
North Carolina’s defense has shown clear progress from last season. It now gets a test against the kind of mobile quarterback that has punished the 14th-ranked Tar Heels in past years. UNC hosts Syracuse on Saturday, and Orange QB Garrett Shrader will be another chance for the Tar Heels to show defensive growth in Year 2 under coordinator Gene Chizik. (Associated Press)
