Shootout win shows good, bad for still-progressing Tar Heels

Posted Sep 18, 2016
North Carolina's 56-28 win against James Madison showed that Tar Heels starting quarterback Mitch Trubisky seems to have gotten his feet beneath him. Trubisky threw for 432 yards, a new personal best, connecting 24 of 27 pass attempts for three touchdowns. "We were waiting for Mitch to flourish in his role, and tonight, he did,"wide receiver Ryan Switzer said. (WRAL Sports Fan)
