Marquise Williams will remain UNC's starting QB

Graham Watson

For those worried about the quarterbacking situation at North Carolina, don’t be.

Coach Larry Fedora said Monday that Marquise Williams is still the starting quarterback despite a poor performance against Delaware last weekend.

"I don't want to start some type of controversy, because there's not one,” coach Larry Fedora said.

Williams completed just 6 of 12 passes for 65 yards during the first half against Delaware and Mitch Trubisky replaced him during the final drive of the first half. Williams did not take a snap in the second half of the 41-14 win.

Trubisky completed 17 of 20 passes for 312 yards and four touchdowns.

Fedora said he made the move in an effort to spark his team, which led just 13-7 at the half. He said he spoke to Williams about the move and the team is ready to move forward to this week’s game against Georgia Tech.

"[Williams] knows that I have complete confidence in him," Fedora said.
