Billy Edwards / Passing Game All-22
- QB/LB: Wow at 12:00 even though he should have still hit Trech , you’re right Shipp was WIDE OPEN And the one where Shipp flattened the route to mitigate the over top safety help again...

AJ: Bye Week QB Thoughts

Billy and Accuracy

3 Under-the-Radar Plays Why UNC Lost
- QB/WR: only thing i can think of is he’s such a big target and should win that matchup…the other outside guys had struggled to get free for the most part.

O'Neil + RPO
- QB: RPO offense is all QB decision-making and short-area accuracy, and the word is those are the two shortcomings that lost O'Neill the competition in fall camp.

My positive
- QB/OL: it’s funny, because the consensus opinion coming into the season was that the OL was potentially the team’s biggest liability.

Travis Burgess
- QB: They owe it to the team, the fan base, the school, and the program to play the best QB we have.

NOAH: UNC Has Its Workhorse Running Back. It Just Needs to Let Him Be One
- Against Clemson in 2026, North Carolina back Benjamin Hall had 11 carries for 77 yards by halftime. The column says UNC used Demon June on a first-down run backed near its own goal line in the third quarter, and June fumbled. The writer argues for more Hall work; no coach announced a rotation change.
- Through three 2026 games, Benjamin Hall has UNC's best overall PFF grade at 81.8 and is its highest-graded pass-blocking back, according to the article. Demon June has four touchdowns in a goal-line role. These are current contributions within UNC's rotation, not a newly named lead back or promised carry split.

- WR: I don't recall seeing any WR open on that 4th and 1 ,but I did see a big gap where all Billy had to do was sprint to it .

One way to look at it
- OL/DL: I agree about the progress and we are far more solid in the OL and DL and just sound overall.

The Numbers Behind UNC’s Secondary Struggles Against Clemson
- Against Clemson, North Carolina cut corner Tre Miller, a starter in its first two games, to nine snaps. Safety Peyton Waters instead played 54 corner snaps opposite Jaiden Patterson after only two earlier career snaps there, while Coleman Bryson filled Waters' safety spot for all 72 defensive plays. Those are Clemson-game alignments, not a permanent depth-chart announcement.
- The 247Sports article cites Clemson-game PFF overall grades of 47.3 for UNC safety Coleman Bryson and 34.4 for corner Jaiden Patterson. Bryson allowed four catches on four targets for 63 yards and a TD with five missed tackles; Patterson allowed three on seven for 55 yards. These are article-cited game results, not independently read PFF data or a benching decision.
- UNC slot defender Kaleb Cost played 44 snaps against Clemson, allowing one catch on two targets for 13 yards with a pass breakup. Freshman Kenton Dopson III played 11 snaps and allowed one catch on two targets for three yards. These observed contributions do not establish either player's next-game snap share.
