Yep! Just like Four Corners, I've seen him for two years now and this was a bad game for him. He is amazing and yeah, a stud WR and 2 stud RB's (along w LB) all opted out.
They were right there and had a chance to win near the end....and as for the cover....horrible loss in that respect.
I've said my peace on a couple other threads but basically I can't stand seeing these guys opt out. First major bowl for UNC since 1950 and they don't wanna play. I've waited 40 years for this and they're scared to play. It's tough to support this crap a lot of the time.
