Motivation not an issue for North Carolina

Posted Sep 17, 2016
North Carolina does not plan on slowing up and playing to the level of its competition, but the matchup isn't even the issue, according to senior wide receiver Ryan Switzer. "[James Madison] really doesn’t care who they’re playing and we don’t care who we are playing," Switzer said. "It’s about us doing what we do and if we do that we will avoid a letdown."
