UNC can change perception in Russell Athletic Bowl

Posted Dec 23, 2015
Marquise Williams and many of UNC’s football players were disappointed to hear they would be playing in the Russell Athletic Bowl. The Tar Heels went 11-2, won the ACC Coastal Division and had a top-10 ranking but still got passed over for a New Year’s Six Bowl game. “Everybody was disappointed at first,” Williams said. “At the end, everybody was like, let’s be blessed."
