Trubisky hopes to finish season, and possibly collegiate career, strong against Stanford
Posted Dec 29, 2016
As he gazes over to his sideline and back to the field, junior standout quarterback Mitch Trubisky calls the play to his offense in a practice drill to prepare his Tar Heels for the Sun Bowl on Friday, Dec. 30. He does it with poise, energy and a spark. The same spark that once stood on the sideline, like a firework ready to be lit, last season as he watched senior captain Marquise Williams take the snaps at quarterback.
