The North Carolina Tar Heels completed their first winning season since 2016 with a 55-13 victory over the Temple Owls in the 2019 Military Bowl at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, on Friday.
UNC's win marked its third in a row and put an exclamation point on an impressive 7-6 season, while Temple finished 8-5 for the second consecutive campaign.
Quarterback Sam Howell capped a historic individual season with another strong performance for the Tar Heels that saw him add to his single-season FBS record for touchdown passes by a true freshman.
The North Carolina defense stepped up in a big way as well by holding Temple to 272 yards of total offense and forcing two turnovers.
