UNC Football rebuilds quarterback personnel as Bobby Petrino takes control of offense

Posted Jan 12, 2026

The move formalized a philosophical shift, and the quarterback group was reconstructed. UNC went from relying on a 5-11 quarterback in Lopez, who often struggled to see over the line, to four quarterbacks 6-3 or taller with stronger arms. (Tar Heel Tribune)
