Stanford will be without its superstar for its Sun Bowl matchup against North Carolina on Friday, but don’t expect the Tar Heels to feel relieved. They’ve seen this movie before.
It was just a year ago that Baylor entered a bowl matchup against UNC minus myriad offensive stars, and the Bears still dominated with 645 rushing yards.
So, the Heels are happy to miss Christian McCaffrey, but they’re not assuming they avoided a land mine.
