  Draft Scout by Conference









  Since quarterback Sam Howell arrived at North Carolina, the fourth quarter has always been when the magic happened. From his first collegiate start as a freshman last season when he led a 15-point rally against South Carolina, to last game out against Wake Forest when he helped produced 28 points in the final period to complete a 21-point comeback, the Tar Heels never feel out of a game when Howell's under center. North Carolina entered Friday's game against Notre Dame with a 133-point differential in fourth quarter scoring margin under Howell's guidance the past two seasons, which leads the entire Football Bowl Subdivision. Appalachian State was the next closest team with an 84-point margin.

So why couldn't Howell rally the No. 25 Tar Heels after trailing just by seven entering the fourth during their 31-17 loss to No. 2 Notre Dame on Friday? UNC coach Mack Brown was upfront about the answer. "You see it, I saw it, looked like they whipped us upfront," Brown said in his postgame video conference. "They got too much pressure on Sam, (he) didn't have enough time to get the ball to the guys. And we knew that was an issue." No amount of trick plays or bubble screens or flat passes could disguise how Notre Dame's defensive front dominated the line of scrimmage. Carolina ran a total of 14 plays on three possessions in the fourth quarter and gained a total of just 20 yards. - Raleigh News Observer
