Tar Heels' Trubisky avoiding mistakes, rolling to big stats

Posted Sep 26, 2016
It turns out Mitch Trubisky just needed a little time. UNC's first-time starting quarterback looked uncomfortable and out of rhythm in his debut against Georgia. Three games later, the junior enters October racking up big numbers and ranking as one of the nation's top passers. Good timing, too, considering the Tar Heels visit No. 12 Florida State this weekend. (Associated Press)
