Well, to preview this is somewhat dangerous as RC and Timothy know more about North Carolina than I do. So, let me tell you about Baylor instead. Baylor is coached by Art Briles. He has quickly established the Bears as a powerhouse in Waco. He was a very accomplished high school coach and made the jump to division one coaching at Houston. Then, he came to Baylor where he recruited speed. He took Robert Griffith III to a Heisman, developed a system which turns out quarterbacks, and is brash enough to back up his bluster.
This year, Briles was set to challenge for a spot in the College Football Playoff. However, his first quarterback Seth Russell broke his neck, his stud back-up quarterback Jarret Stidham got injured too, and then third string quarterback Chris Johnson got hurt as well in the last game of the season (thanks to my Longhorns). But, not only are the quarterbacks a MASH unit, but Baylor's best receiver Corey Coleman and running back Shock Linwood are also hurt. We are not sure what Baylor has left to face North Carolina and their awesome quarterback Marquise Williams. Chris Johnson should be back and there are a lot of athletes at Briles disposal, so Carolina shouldn't be too confident. Briles can coach, but he has definitely some obstacles to overcome. Carolina is the 2 to 3 point favorite currently in Vegas.
