UConn Huskies vs North Carolina Tar Heels team news & key players
UConn Huskies team news
For UConn, this bowl appearance marks a significant milestone in their resurgence. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, but their defense has struggled at times, as seen in their 47-42 victory over UMass. Quarterback Joe Fagnano was effective, completing 15 of 26 passes for 181 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.
On the ground, Camryn Edwards delivered a stellar performance, tallying 142 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. The Huskies are scoring an average of 32.3 points per game while allowing 23.8, ranking 34th in offense and 58th in defense nationally. To take down North Carolina, UConn’s defense will need to tighten up and complement their potent offensive attack.
North Carolina Tar Heels team news
Despite North Carolina's uneven season, they hold a noticeable talent advantage and enter the matchup as the favorites. However, their current three-game skid raises questions about their ability to deliver when it matters most. In their last outing, the offense performed well, posting 30 points, but the defense faltered, surrendering 35 to NC State.
Jacoby Criswell shined at quarterback, completing 18 of 23 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns without a single interception. Meanwhile, Omarion Hampton racked up 185 rushing yards on 22 carries, adding a touchdown to his tally. This season, the Tar Heels have averaged 32.3 points per game while conceding 28.2. Offensively, they rank 35th in the nation, but their defense sits at a disappointing 91st. A strong offensive showing will be crucial if they hope to emerge victorious.
