Carolina’s offense will walk through the tunnel at Bank of America Stadium a lot lighter than they were in their magical season-opening win against South Carolina on September 2nd. Drake Maye opted out of the Duke’s Mayo Bowl to prepare for the NFL Draft and an almost undeniable pairing with the New England Patriots. Tez Walker also opted out to prepare for the Senior Bowl. All of the tight ends that saw meaningful snaps are either out (lower body injuries) or transferred (Kamari Morales is now a Boston College Eagle).
If you were on the fence that God abandoned us after another end-of-season slide, the news that Kobe Paysour was practicing to play in the Mayo Bowl, only to break his other foot is proof that we are truly alone and uncared for.
