The North Carolina Tarheels were only leading Delaware 10-7 when Quarterback Marquise Williams helmet was knocked off and he had to come out of the game for at least one play. Marquise Williams never went back in the game as backup Mitch Trubisky took over and had the game of his young collegiate career. Trubisky finished 17-20 for 312 yards and four touchdowns and he rushed for 39 yards.
An offense that wasn't running on all cylinders with Williams in the game switched over to nitrous oxide with Trubisky steering the offense. Coach Larry Fedora explained the switch at Quarterback by saying "I wasn't happy with the way we were executing" and "Mitch ran the offense and did a good job." It has not been uncommon for the past couple of seasons for Fedora to put Trubisky in for a series in the first half of games over the past couple of seasons but this was the most extended playing time Trubisky has received in a game.
