Here’s how you can watch Friday afternoon’s Sun Bowl between Stanford and North Carolina online.

North Carolina is one of those teams looking to prove itself this bowl season. The Tar Heels have put together a solid campaign, going 8-4 and nearly winning the ACC Coastal for the second straight season. This team has plenty of talent.

Mitch Trubisky is the major name to keep an eye on as the junior quarterback is considered by many to be the top quarterback prospect in 2017. He has been terrific this year, passing for 3,468 yards and 28 touchdowns with only four interceptions.

Ryan Switzer will look to end his career on a high note as well. The senior receiver has been Trubisky’s favorite target this season, catching 91 passes for 1,027 yards and five scores.

It’s been an up-and-down year for Stanford. The Cardinal began the season 3-0 with nice wins over Kansas State, USC and UCLA, but they then lost three of the next four to drop to 4-3. However, Stanford finished strong, winning the final five games.

Christian McCaffrey was a big reason for the mid-season turnaround. He struggled through the first few games of the year, but rebounded nicely. Unfortunately, the former Heisman contender is planning to sit the Sun Bowl out in order to prepare for the NFL.

Without McCaffrey, the Cardinal offense is not quite as dynamic. In fact, he has accounted for 1,913 yards from scrimmage while Stanford has about 4,500 this year. Someone else is going to have to step up in his absence and it might just be a guy like sophomore running back Bryce Love.
