A lot riding on Trubisky's shoulders in Sun Bowl

Posted Dec 30, 2016
Stanford junior running back Christian McCaffrey won't play in order to begin training for the NFL draft, while UNC's Elijah Hood is out because of medical reasons. The 18th-ranked Cardinal will move on with an expanded role for running back Bryce Love while UNC might put more on the plate of junior Mitch Trubisky, arguably the top quarterback prospect for the 2017 draft.
