Despite the four major opt-outs for the Orange Bowl, North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Mack Brown was supportive of his players and optimistic for Saturday night, and beyond.
“We’ll know more about this team after this game, about what we’ve got to do to continue to grow next fall, and in the spring, than we do right now,” Brown said.
With Chazz Surratt, Dyami Brown, Michael Carter, and Javonte Williams opting out of the Orange Bowl and preparing for the NFL, the All-ACC size hole on the Tar Heels will be tough to fill.
