Fedora keeps Trubisky guessing errors sink UNC football

The two-quarterback system is back. Or is it?

Just three series into North Carolina’s 53-14 victory over North Carolina A&T on Saturday, Coach Larry Fedora called on redshirt sophomore quarterback Mitch Trubisky to spell senior starter Marquise Williams — a plan unbeknownst to either player.

“I wanted to get (Trubisky) in early, I wanted him to get some meaningful reps,” Fedora said.

“And I didn’t want to tell him that he was going, so that if the situation happens like that in the season, he’s prepared and ready to go.”

Trubisky took the field for two handoffs, before Williams reclaimed quarterback duties for the following drive.
