Tar Heels' Line Steady, Rushing Needs Lift | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Coach Bill Belichick praised the North Carolina Tar Heels’ strong debut against TCU, spotlighting their improved offensive line—especially pass protection—as a major strength. Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. thrived in clean pockets early, throwing for over 100 yards. While running backs showed promise—with Jaylen McGill scoring and Demon June flashing potential—the rushing attack still needs to ramp up, particularly from Benjamin Hall. Belichick’s philosophy of depth over dominance at running back remains intact, and with new linemen stepping up, the Tar Heels are building momentum for tougher matchups ahead.
