North Carolina needs to focus on its ground game
Posted Sep 8, 2016
UNC had 41 dropbacks for quarterback Mitch Trubisky, while the running backs got just 16 rushing attempts. And that was a problem, because Elijah Hood and T.J. Logan combined for 152 yards on those 16 attempts (9.5 yards per rush), while Trubisky averaged just 3.78 yards per dropback, the fourth-worst output by a Power 5 quarterback in Week 1.
