Trubisky has a better arm. The five-star phenom piloted the Bulldogs on an 11-yard, 75-yard jaunt, which he capitalized with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah McKenzie with 1:19 to play in the third quarter. Trubisky is a dual-threat quarterback who can make plays in both the running and passing games.

Mitch Trubisky’s wait is finally over. Don’t downplay his connection with tight end Brandon Fritts.
“He’s been embracing this role as the starting quarterback here”, UNC senior cornerback Des Lawrence said. Based on last season’s stats, the Bulldogs have the upper hand. Mikey Bart led the team with 6.5 sacks a year ago and Nazair Jones played well at times in the middle. Based on Saturday’s defeat, the Tar Heels are a good team but not at the level of either Florida State or the Clemson Tigers. Punter is the concern, with three punters battling for the job into the season. Williams was out of the game because his helmet came off during the previous play.
Before suffering a devastating knee injury during the middle of last season, Chubb, a 5-foot-10-inch, 220-pound bundle of strength and speed, was being mentioned in the same breath as Louisiana State’s Leonard Fournette.
Georgia also got some promising play from freshman quarterback Jacob Eason, who didn’t start but was on the field as the Bulldogs rallied from a 24-14 deficit in the second half.
“Last week, I was in class and a guy leaned over to my desk and was like, ‘Who’s going to start at quarterback?'” Godwin said with a smile. Will the new offensive line mesh together? Still, the points seem too high, considering Missouri’s defense again figures to be among the nation’s best. They’ll be tested early in a tough matchup against Georgia in Atlanta for the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game. “Our team and staff have prepared well, and we’re looking forward to the game”.
By the looks of it, Trubisky could pick up where North Carolina than 2015 starter Marquise Williams left off, based on what outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter said. Nick Chubb was getting Heisman love before his injury a year ago. Social media posts that use the hashtag #UNCWithMe will live on a campaign microsite, UNCWithMe.com, allowing Tar Heels to share their unique stories – whether they are volunteering down the street or conducting research halfway around the world. In order to stop the run, Carolina must control the line of scrimmage. Everyone loves the story of an alum coming home to return his school to glory, but opening with a loss to an ACC team that isn’t Clemson or Florida State would be a awful way to get started. Hollins was ejected for targeting in the second half of his team’s loss to Baylor in the Russell Athletic Bowl when he led with his helmet while throwing a block.

Offensively, Georgia was consistent throughout, scoring in every quarter. Will Smart and coordinator Jim Chaney give Lambert more than just a couple of series to get the offense on track?
