Given all the returning players on offense, there aren't many surprises here. Unlike last season when Larry Fedora left the quarterback situation up in the air, Marquise Williams is the outright starter on the preseason depth chart. Mac Hollins will start at one of the WR positions ahead of Bug Howard. Then again, with the way the ball gets sprayed around in Fedora's offense, plenty of receivers will get touches.

On the defensive side, the biggest news is the death of the 4-2-5. Nothing should make the fan happier than to see a plain vanilla 4-3 on the depth chart. No bandit or ram positions just four defensive linemen, three linebackers then the secondary. Hopefully the change is much less confusing for the players as it will be for your intrepid blogger.

On special teams, Nick Weiler is listed as the #1 place kicker ahead of redshirt freshman Freeman Jones. That being said, I can't imagine Weiler keeps the job or Jones doesn't at least get a shot at the job. UNC ability to kick a field goal at any rage much less over 30 yards was a question mark all season. Find a solution at this position should be a fairly high priority.
