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.
