Early ACC Football Predictions for 2017
Posted Jan 19, 2017
Coastal Division: 5. North Carolina - With the departure of quarterback Mitch Trubisky and running back Elijah Hood to the NFL, 2017 appears to be a rebuilding year for Larry Fedora. Nathan Elliott spent 2016 as the backup to Trubisky, but the competition will include redshirt freshmen Logan Byrd and Chazz Surratt and possibly a graduate transfer (Malik Zaire?).
