Trubisky, Williams fight it out for UNC's starting quarterback spot
Posted Aug 22, 2014
It wasn't supposed to be this way. Quarterback Mitch Trubisky committed to North Carolina as a four-star recruit out of Ohio in 2012. At that time, Bryn Renner was in his first full season as UNC's starting quarterback and was set to graduate after the 2013 season. Trubisky was expected to slide right into the starting job after taking a redshirt season. Then Marquise Williams messed everything up.
