Edwards Takes Charge in Dublin | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

UNC’s football team heads to Dublin for a high-stakes opener against TCU, with veteran QB Billy Edwards Jr. named starter — a move designed to inject stability into an offense that cratered last season. After beating out Miles O’Neill, Edwards brings Maryland and Wisconsin experience, including a standout 2024 campaign with over 2,800 passing yards. Under new coach Bobby Petrino’s motion-heavy system, Edwards’ job is to minimize turnovers and deliver clean execution — not dazzle. With a rebuilt roster and travel fatigue looming, his poise will be critical as UNC faces a TCU team that exploited their mistakes last year. This game is the ultimate test: can Edwards and Petrino’s system click fast enough to turn the tide? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
