Duke's Mayo bowl recap, prep for the Pop Tart bowl, and the Carolina Hurricanes

UNC Football - disappointing end to the season

Everything about yesterday looked bad

-first play - 75yd TD, INT in the endzone, short punt goes off players leg recovered by WVU, WVU punt return TD

-75-80% of people in attendance were WVU fans

-they didn’t want to be there

Carolina lost 5 of their last 7 games … only wins were in triple-OT against Duke who was playing with their third string QB in true freshman Grayson Loftus, and Campbell, who’s an FCS school 

NFL Hall of Fame Finalists announced - Torry Holt & Julius Peppers announced, no Steve Smith Sr.

Canes get a big win - Aho was awesome; Kochetkov was solid; Svech looked like good Svech

-PowerPlay was 3 of 6, Aho with his 500th career point, and 501, and 502, AND 503 … stars had to step up, and they did

Aho, 1g 3a, Burns with 1 & 1, Svech with 1 & 1, Jarvis with 1 & 1, Bunting was effective on the PP, Kochetkov made 35 saves, including 15 in the 2nd period

Nashville controlled a lot of play, especially early, and even in the 2nd period, especially at 5-on-5, but Carolina locked it down in the third and stayed out of the box

NC State competes in the Pop Tarts Bowl in Orlando

A contrast of seasons between NC State & UNC … While UNC felt checked out, it feels like NC State is all in … yes, players missing due to portal, NFL, etc., but every team deals with it

Chance for a 10-win season, first under Doeren, keep the positive vibes going, Brennan Armstrong
