North Carolina and West Virginia meet in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 27. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

North Carolina coach Mack Brown has a new moniker for the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. He’s calling it the “New Opportunity Bowl.”

With highly-regarded quarterback Drake Maye and 11 other starters from the beginning of the season not playing because they’re preparing for the draft, entering the transfer portal or recovering from injuries, the Tar Heels (8-4) largely will be using Wednesday’s game against West Virginia to evaluate young talent and prepare for the future.

Conner Harrell, who went 25-2 at Thompson High School and was named the player of the year in Alabama as a senior, will be making his first career start when the Tar Heels face the Mountaineers (8-4).

Brown called the 6-foot, 205-pound Harrell a “totally different” quarterback from Maye, saying that while he’s not as tall, he does have more speed than Maye — something North Carolina hopes to take advantage of in the run game.

West Virginia cornerback Beanie Bishop said the Mountaineers have been watching cutups of Harrell’s high school games because he’s only thrown six passes in college.
