Tar Heels Start Edwards Jr. at QB | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina Tar Heels shock fans by naming Billy Edwards Jr. as starting QB for the season opener, despite Miles ONeill’s strong practice performances and perceived upside. Coaches favor Edwards Jr.’s experience over ONeill’s raw talent, betting he’s easier to bench if things go south — though his four-school history and durability concerns raise eyebrows. Critics argue ONeill’s mobility and arm strength are exactly what the offense needs to stay competitive, and with Edwards Jr. likely getting little room for error, a mid-season switch may be inevitable if results don’t improve quickly.
