Max Johnson steps in again as UNC faces quarterback uncertainty

Posted Sep 23, 2025
Against TCU, quarterback Max Johnson entered the game after starter Gio Lopez went down with an injury. On Saturday against UCF, Johnson played the final 21 minutes, completing 11 of 19 passes for 67 yards and a TD. With no update from UNC and Lopez still unable to put pressure on his right leg, Johnson could be in line to start moving forward. (TarHeel247)
