Baylor will play North Carolina in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Dec. 29. Here's an early inside look at the game.
Matchup to watch: As a second-team selection, cornerback Des Lawrence was the only North Carolina defender to earn first- or second-team All-ACC honors. He'll likely be matched up against Biletnikoff Award winner and Baylor All-American wideout Corey Coleman. It would help Coleman's cause if quarterback Jarrett Stidham could return from a broken bone in his foot in time for the bowl. But whether it's Stidham or Chris Johnson behind center, the Bears will be going to Coleman early and often in the final game of his Baylor career.
