Tar Heels facing major offensive turnover for 2017 season

Posted Aug 11, 2017
The offense that has driven UNC during Larry Fedora's tenure will have to find some playmakers and a new quarterback after losing No. 2 overall NFL draft pick Mitch Trubisky along with its three best receivers and two best tailbacks. And that could put more pressure on a defense that has been little more than adequate, even as the Tar Heels won the Coastal in 2015. (Associated Press)
