North Carolina's defense can carry a rebuilt offense.
Context
Ty does not dismiss North Carolina even though he agrees that TCU is the safer side. He thinks the Belichick defense showed enough juice in 2025 to improve, and a first-time FBS quarterback such as Jaden Craig could face a genuinely interesting test if the Tar Heels are organized.
On offense, Ty trusts Bobby Petrino to use quick game, RPOs, and movement throws to put Billy Edwards Jr. in positions that fit his strengths. The concern is that the plan depends on Edwards being available and on Petrino finding more juice without asking the quarterback to win vertically in ways that do not fit him.
