Billy Edwards Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - North Carolina Tar Heels

Efficient in FCS blowout Edwards was 15-for-20 passing for 244 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-3 victory against East Tennessee State.

Impact Edwards was very efficient for the Tar Heels once again, completing 75 percent of his passes en route to an easy victory over an FCS foe. Edwards isn't going to put up big-time numbers even against a significantly overmatched opponent, but he's off to a very solid start in Chapel Hill.

Solid start to UNC career Edwards completed 16 of 28 passes for 232 yards during Saturday's 15-10 win over TCU. He also had seven rushes for negative four yards.

Impact Edwards got off to a solid start with the Tar Heels as North Carolina notched a season-opening upset win over TCU in Dublin. The former Wisconsin and Maryland quarterback is at his best when he can operate as a game-manager, and that's largely what he was against the Horned Frogs. North Carolina doesn't look particularly explosive or dynamic on offense, but Edwards could win the Tar Heels games this fall just by playing smart, turnover-free football.
