CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky looked relaxed and made running the Tar Heels high-powered offense look easy.The first-year starter threw for a career-high 432 yards and three touchdowns while setting two school records, helping UNC beat James Madison 56-28 in Saturdays home opener.Hes getting better and better, and more comfortable and more comfortable, UNC coach Larry Fedora said. Now as you see him get more comfortable, youre seeing Mitch Trubisky come out now. Youre seeing the guy that can do all the things that we think he can do.Trubisky completed 24 of 27 passes for the Tar Heels (2-1), including a program single-game record of 18 straight before calling it a day in the fourth. He has thrown 156 passes without an interception, breaking a record that had stood since 1997.The Tar Heels scored touchdowns on eight of the juniors nine drives, the exception being a one-snap possession before halftime. Each of those drives was at least 72 yards, with Trubisky connecting on a 75-yard flea flicker score to Ryan Switzer and a 71-yarder to Mack Hollins.I think its just becoming more comfortable week to week, Trubisky said. Its all about being better than the player I was last Saturday.Meanwhile, Elijah Hood and T.J. Logan combined to rush for five scores for the Tar Heels (2-1), who finished with 635 yards and didnt punt until midway through the fourth quarter.Khalid Abdullah ran for 116 yards and two touchdowns for the Dukes (2-1), who scored touchdowns on all three first-quarter drives. But they couldnt keep up with the Tar Heels humming offense and didnt reach the end zone again until the third quarter after UNC led by 21.Theyve got some great athletes, but we made some mistakes there early that gave them some real cheap ones, some easy scores where they didnt have to work very much, JMU coach Mike Houston said. Thats our fault.THE TAKEAWAYJAMES MADISON: The good news is the Championship Subdivision Dukes moved the ball well against a power-conference opponent before sputtering in the second quarter. The bad news is they couldnt get Trubisky off the field, though they wont see an offense like UNCs in Colonial Athletic Association play, either.NORTH CAROLINA: This was a reminder of what UNCs offense can do after some uneven moments against Georgia and Illinois. But the defense isnt in a great spot entering Atlantic Coast Conference play between injuries and shaky execution (495 yards allowed).GETTING THINUNCs defensive line is short of help.The Tar Heels were without tackle Naz Jones -- who tweeted that he had a concussion -- and end Tomon Fox due to injuries. Another end, Dajaun Drennon, hasnt played all year with an undisclosed injury.Redshirt freshman Jason Strowbridge started at end and got banged up, too. But UNC had junior end Tyler Powell for the first time; he returned this week after being away due to personal issues.PENALTY PROBLEMFedora was irked by the Tar Heels five unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties among 10 penalties for 110 yards.We can do things within the game and screw up, but were not going to screw up after the whistle, Fedora said. So well get that corrected.OFF-FIELD ISSUESIt was a difficult week here with one of the Tar Heels turning himself in on an arrest warrant for misdemeanor sexual battery and assault on a female student in February. Junior Allen Artis, a reserve who played on special teams, was suspended indefinitely once charges were filed Tuesday.I thought our guys have handled the situation fairly well, but theyre young, Fedora said. Theyre kids and theyll grow from it and hopefully well be better men from it.UP NEXTJAMES MADISON: The Dukes, who won a share of the CAA title last year, open league play at Maine in the first meeting since 2012.NORTH CAROLINA: The reigning Coastal Division champion opens Atlantic Coast Conference play at home against Pittsburgh, which finished second in the division last year.
