Where ESPN ranks Gio Lopez among Power 4 quarterbacks one month into the season

Posted Oct 1, 2025
66. Gio Lopez, North Carolina: Lopez has bombed in his first year in Freddie Kitchens' offense. He has yet to produce a Total QBR higher than 35.0 in any game, and he averaged just 4.4 yards per dropback in two blowout losses, both of which he left injured. It might be best for UNC and Lopez if Max Johnson were named the starter moving forward. (ESPN.com)
