Stanford Cardinal 25, North Carolina Tar Heels 23
Here are the highest-graded players and top takeaways from Stanford’s 25-23 Sun Bowl victory over North Carolina.
Stanford Cardinal
Quarterback grade: Ryan Burns, 52.1
Burns plays in relief duty
Stanford backup QB Ryan Burns played the majority of Stanford’s snaps at QB, coming in for the injured Keller Chryst. Burns completed six of his 14 pass attempts for 86 yards with one drop. He took care of the ball, as he did not commit a turnover, and completed a deep attempt on a trick pass play in the fourth quarter that led to a field goal—one that would prove vital for the Cardinal.
