Tar Heels confident in firepower returning on offense heading into UGA opener

Posted Jul 22, 2016
The Tar Heels bring back seven offensive starters from a unit that ranked ninth in the nation in scoring last season at 40.6 points per game and 18th in total offense at 486.9 yards per game. Even with quarterback Marquise Williams departed, there is plenty of confidence in Mitch Trubisky, who completed 40 of 47 passes last year for 555 yards with six touchdowns. (Dog Bytes)
