  "account": "Chapel Hill - Tar Heels quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. suffered an injury during a tackle in the third quarter of their game against Louisville. Trailing 13-7, Edwards was sacked, spent some time on the ground, and then sat up before walking off the field. His teammate Jordan Shipp initially checked on him before Edwards made his way to the injury tent. Freshman quarterback Travis Burgess came into the game and nearly completed a touchdown pass to Trech Kekahuna, although Kekahuna failed to secure the catch. Edwards was observed practicing on the sideline, but Burgess continued playing with 5:58 minutes remaining in the third quarter. Edwards departed for the locker room at the 5:33 mark of the third quarter.",
