Former UNC and NFL running back Shaun Draughn: "[Bowl Eligibility] is what we are playing for. If I am Sam Howell, I don't want to go out as the quarterback that had all this hype and couldn't get it done. Granted, he doesn't have a lot of pieces around him, I can't fault Sam. The offensive line is in question. Bowl Eligibility is the goal, and [it's] questionable." (Inside Carolina)
