Sun Bowl Preview and Prediction: Stanford vs. North Carolina

Posted Dec 27, 2016
Turning this one into a high-scoring affair is UNC's best bet for a win. The Tar Heels' issues defending the run could loom large if Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey's replacement, Bryce Love, proves capable of shouldering a 20-carry load. Largely unproven Cameron Scarlett will see opportunities as well. Prediction: Stanford 28, North Carolina 24 (Athlon Sports)
