The Tarheel Mess
This is the worst off season for UNC sports that I can ever remember. Tales of academic scandals, bowl bans, and ineligible players have dominated the headlines. Now the focus needs to be what is going right at North Carolina. A new football coach, Larry Fedora, has taken over to put the Tarheel nation back on course with a brand of football never seen before in Chapel Hill. He brings with him a spread offense, a 4-2-5 defense, and positive, Red Bull fueled hyper attitude with him. The biggest problem that Coach Fedora faces is depth, especially at the wide receiver position. In order to run the spread you have to 4 or 5 wide receivers on the field. Freshman Quinshad Davis and Kedrick Davis as well as several walk-ons may be counted on to log some quality playing time, especially with training camp injuries claiming Sophomores T.J. Thorpe and Reggie Wilkins. Running Back seems to be set with Giovanni Bernard, A.J. Blue, and Romar Morris all more than likely getting most of the carries. Quarterback is set with Bryn Renner claiming the starting job but a battle developing for the backup position between Redshirt Freshman Marquise Williams and True Freshman Kanley Coker.
