North Carolina Adds to Jacolby Criswell’s Quarterback Menu, Expands Playbook

Posted Oct 8, 2024

Some new wrinkles were seen in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh, including the use of quarterback draws. The Tar Heels used those designed running plays three times, picking up gains of 7, 15, and 4 yards. (Inside Carolina)
