  "account": "TCU will host North Carolina in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland this Saturday. Both programs have undergone changes over the offseason. Here are three TCU players to watch against UNC:\n\nQB Jaden Craig, who transferred from Harvard, is the all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns at his new school. A finalist for the Walter Payton Award, Craig set multiple single-season records last year while starting 11 games and averaging 260.82 passing yards. He also rushed for three touchdowns.\n\nWR Jordan Dwyer, TCU's returning leading receiver, had 54 catches for 730 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He had nine receptions for 136 yards against North Carolina. Dwyer's availability for this game is uncertain, as his presence will significantly impact the Tar Heels' offense.\n\nSafety Jamel Johnson was an All-Big 12 selection last year, recording 96 tackles, three pass breakups, and five interceptions. This year, Johnson has continued his impressive performance, contributing to TCU's secondary defense. His play will be crucial in containing UNC's offense.",
