UNC QB Mitch Trubisky shows classs in Sun Bowl defeat
Posted Dec 30, 2016
Mitch Trubisky didn't play like an elite quarterback for a good part of the Sun Bowl on Friday. Nor did he perform with like a first-round NFL draft pick, which he may likely be next April. But sometimes showing character can be more impressive than talent. And in that regard, UNC's junior quarterback was an undeniable superstar in the wake of the Tar Heels' loss to Stanford.
