The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina is moving forward with Conner Harrell as its starting quarterback after Max Johnson suffered a season-ending injury in the opening win at Minnesota. “He’s just got to get confidence and go,” coach Mack Brown said Monday. Brown said Johnson will remain for a week or two in Minnesota, where UNC has left an assistant trainer behind to stay with Johnson until he’s able to return to Chapel Hill. He’s still a young player.” Brown said the goal for Johnson, the son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson, is to have him participate in virtual team or quarterback meetings until his return, and then have him help coach the other passers.
