Earning the quarterback job and the respect of teammates
Posted Apr 12, 2016
UNC head coach Larry Fedora does this weird thing where he doesn't name a starting quarterback. Sometimes it goes deep into fall camp. With the graduation of starter Marquise Williams, the assumption is that Mitch Trubisky will take the reins of the Tar Heel offense. The fans know it. The media knows it. And the players know it. But Fedora won't admit it.
