UNC Football is Conner Harrell’s Show to Run. Can He Lead the Tar Heels to Success?

Harrell’s performance in the second half at Minnesota could best be described as game-managing, in which he only completed two passes and nearly lost a fumble in the fourth quarter. Now, though, he gets to make his first start in front of a home crowd as Carolina hosts Charlotte in Kenan Stadium. (Chapelboro.com)
