Ian Book taking reps with center Sam Mustipher in warmups.

Brandon Wimbush is walking without a limp but not close to 100%.

Can't imagine Wimbush would be Book's backup today.

Not a great start for a young QB under center for the Irish offense.

First series is precisely why I hate not deferring to the second half....

Daelin Hayes with nice pressure to force a UNC punt on 3rd-and-1.

And the D does the job!

The same as going for two pts when you don't need to.

Figured we'd start slow with book back there. Ugly start

Classic example of out kicking the coverage. There was no one there when the returner caught it.

So far, disappointed in the offense outside of Book and Adams. Especially pissed at the receivers these first two drives.
