Last season University of North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Larry Fedora had all offseason to make a decision on a starting quarterback. Going into the season opener, Fedora still didn’t have a clear-cut starter as both Brandon Harris and Chazz Surratt played in the Week 1 game.
Fedora has faced a similar situation for the leader of his offense in 2018 but due to some circumstances, the coaches decision has already been made.
After the program announced the suspension of 13 football players, including Surratt, for selling team-issued shoes, Fedora came out and announced that Nathan Elliott would be the starter for the Week 1 game at Cal.
