Mitch Trubisky isn’t Marquise Williams, but he’s getting the job done his own way.
The Tar Heels returned most of a team that went 11-1 in the regular season last year, but did lose the most important piece of that team’s offense: quarterback Marquise Williams. Williams posted over 3000 yards passing and almost 950 yards rushing in 2015, so the Heels had a lot of production to replace both in the air and on the ground.
The heir incumbent, Mitch Trubisky, was known to be no slouch himself on the ground, having been rated the sixth best dual-threat quarterback in his recruiting class by 247sports.
