Is a Quarterback controversy brewing for the North Carolina Tarheels? Marquise Williams and Mitch Trubisky are tasked to run the same system at North Carolina. Williams and Trubisky are very different Quarterbacks.
Williams is the better and more powerful runner of the two and has been the starter since Bryn Renner got hurt midway through the NC State game in 2013. Williams led North Carolina in passing and rushing in 2014. Williams decision making has been in question this season. He threw three interceptions against South Carolina in their opening loss and threw another pick against Illinois. He was trying to force something that wasn't there. Williams questionable decision making got him pulled from the game against Delaware.
Trubisky is the better passer but he still has the ability to run but he is not going to be able to break off the long run like Williams can. Against Delaware, Trubisky brought the explosive pass play that has been missing thus far this season back to North Carolina's offense.
Coach Larry Fedora claims that Williams is still the starting Quarterback but from a fan's point of view, it seems that Fedora is more run heavy with Williams in the game. Fedora seems to have lost confidence in William's ability to make good decisions when passing the ball. The ability to throw the ball deep has always been a key element in any Fedora coached offense. It will be interesting to see how long he stays with Williams against Georgia Tech if he struggles again. Luckily he has Trubisky waiting in the wings.
