With the absence of Elijah Hood in the bowl game, Logan will be heavy relied on in the running game.

TJ and Elijah Hood have virtually split carries this year, much to the dismay of some fans. Logan, the Greensboro native has been phenomenal in all aspects, even including his kick returning.

Logan has been sensational this season, out of the backfield, and lined up as a receiver. TJ has recorded seven rushing touchdowns, and three receiving touchdowns. He is also averaging almost six yards per carry.

Many believe Elijah Hood should carry more of the load, but even in split carries, both have had great seasons.

The Tar Heels running game will play a crucial part in the Heels offense this game. It’s certain the front four of the Cardinal will be ready to stop the run, but the more pressure than can be taken off Trubisky, the better.

If Logan can continue what he has done this season, the Heels will have a great shot to win this game.
