Quick Lane Bowl Preview and Prediction: North Carolina vs Rutgers

Posted Dec 23, 2014
Larry Fedora’s offense will be effective against the Scarlet Knights’ defense with dual-threat quarterback Marquise Williams being the difference-maker in the end. There should be no lack of offensive fireworks at Ford Field as the Tar Heels have just enough firepower to outlast the Scarlet Knights in a back-and-forth, highly entertaining affair in the Motor City. Prediction: UNC 34, Rutgers 30 (Athlon Sports)
