UNC Orange Bowl Opt-Outs Promote Younger Players, Launch 2021 Season

Posted Dec 22, 2020
North Carolina began Orange Bowl preparations Monday without Michael Carter, Dyami Brown, and Chazz Surratt. The focus is now on players still active and able to help the Tar Heels win a ninth game. "You go back to work," Mack Brown said. "Your team's playing in a great game and it gives other guys opportunities to step up. Those are big holes to fill." (Inside Carolina)
