Carolina is back at .500 with a solid if unspectacular win over an overmatched Georgia Tech. A strong offensive display (which should have been even stronger) saw the Heels win a comfortable 38-22 game that displayed both how much potential this team has...and how far they are from fully realizing it. Here are our Position Grades for Saturday’s win.
Quarterback: B
Sam Howell overcame a rickety start to the game to finish with a terrific scoreline of 376 yards, four touchdowns and one interception on 33-51 attempts. Early on, he missed several connections, particularly on the deep ball, and he threw his worst interception of the season thus far, failing to note a defensive end dropping in coverage.
