Game Preview
On December 27, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl will take place at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, between the North Carolina Tar Heels (8-4) and the West Virginia Mountaineers (8-4).
Despite losing their final 2 games, North Carolina’s record was 8-4 overall and 4-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference at the end of the regular season. This bowl game is clouded by uncertainty because it is currently unknown whether UNC quarterback Drake Maye is going to participate. Drake Maye, the quarterback at North Carolina, has passed for 3,608 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. In 2024, Maye is expected to be the second quarterback taken in the NFL Draft and a top-five selection overall. With 1,442 yards and 15 touchdowns, Omarion Hampton leads the rushers, while Devontez Walker leads receivers with 699 yards and 7 touchdown catches. The defense of North Carolina has recorded 27 quarterback sacks and 12 pass interceptions.
The West Virginia Mountaineers finished 8-4 as a whole and 6-3 in the Big 12 Conference in the regular season. In the season’s last game, West Virginia overcame the Baylor Bears 34–31. In the last two matches and 4 of the 5, the Mountaineers prevailed. At the end of the regular season, West Virginia averaged 31.5 points scored and 27.5 points allowed per contest. Quarterback Garrett Greene of West Virginia has thrown for 2,178 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. The football program in West Virginia has been rejuvenated by the dual-threat quarterback. Despite only completing 54% of his throws, he is a dangerous runner who has been good this season and is a good decision-maker. Having 798 yards and 11 touchdowns, CJ Donaldson Jr. leads the team in rushing, followed by Jaheim White with 792 yards and 3 touchdowns, while with 501 yards and 2 touchdown receptions, Devin Carter is the top receiver.
