UNC will take on the Stanford Cardinal in the Sun Bowl but who are the key players for both teams?

On December 30th, the North Carolina Tar Heels will play in their biggest game this season as they will travel to El Paso to take on Stanford in the Sun Bowl.

The Heels struggled down the stretch, costing themselves a shot at redemption in the ACC championship game. Going into the game against Duke this season, it appeared as if the Heels were on the right track but that night the season seemed to fall apart.

The Heels lost to their rival Duke, and NC State in the final weekend of the season, eliminating them from Coastal contention.

A loss against Stanford would be the third loss in the last four games, which would leave more questions than answers around this team.

In order for the Heels to win against Stanford, the Heels will need peak performances from their three key players. If Stanford, who has under performed in their own right, wants to win their three players must continue to dominate.
