Meineke Car Care Bowl

The Meineke Car Care Bowl: North Carolina vs. Pittsburgh



Pittsburgh has been one of the more impressive teams this season, featuring the great running of Dion Lewis and the surprisingly effective play of QB Bill Stull. North Carolina’s success was a bit more surprising. They play well with strong defense and the underrated play of QB T.J. Yates. This will be an excellent game, but Dion Lewis will be the difference, Pitt Wins.


Prospects to Watch in this Game


Pittsburgh, Quarterback, Bill Stull: While there is a great deal of development for Stull to go through, he still has solid potential as a backup. He has pretty good arm strength, but questionable decision making skills. A late round prospect.


Pittsburgh, Tight End, Nate Byham: A late round prospect, mostly because of his limited use as a receiver but overwhelming impact as a blocker. In a league where there are fewer and fewer good blocking tight ends, a player like Byham still has a place.


North Carolina, Defensive Tackle, Cam Thomas: A massive player who still has enough quickness to make an impact as a special teamer and sub package player. Late round prospect.


Note: Also keep an eye on Bruce Carter and Marvin Austin, both are projected to go in the first three rounds.
