This year, we knew in advance that the Duke’s Mayo Bowl was not open to bathing either Mack Brown or Shane Beamer in the thick condiment. The winning coach is going to get doused in mayonnaise.Īfter a regular cooler of Gatorade was dumped on Wisconsin head coach Paul Chryst when the Badgers defeated Wake Forest in 2020, the internet was devastated the Duke’s Mayo Bowl didn’t follow in the footsteps of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (french fries), Cheez-It Bowl (Cheez-Its) and Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl (Frosted Flakes).

The Gamecocks ran 40 plays combined, scoring 13 points while burning off more than 22 minutes of the game clock.The Duke’s Mayo Bowl has been one of the most anticipated games of the postseason, and not because anyone is particularly interested in what happens on the field between North Carolina and South Carolina. Carolina had only four drives in the entire half. The Gamecock offense in the second half was effective at ball control and securing points. UNC converted on a two-point try to close the gap, 32-21, with 7:24 to play in the 3rd quarter. With a flick of the wrist, Howell hit Garrett Walston in stride for the 37-yard touchdown pass. A reverse flea-flicker back to quarterback Sam Howell gave him an open target down the field. ![]() UNC needed misdirection to answer the Gamecock score. Harris would punch it in two plays later to give the Gamecocks a 32-13 advantage. His second haul landed Carolina on the Tar Heels five-yard line.

UNC settled for a 40-yard field to make it a one-score game in Charlotte, 18-10, with 5:44 to play in the 2nd quarter.Ĭarolina quickly answered with its tailbacks running at will. Zacch Pickens and Jordan Strachan teamed up to drop Howell for a 10-yard loss. A couple of plays later, Howell’s dancing around in the pocket cost the Tar Heels valuable real estate. He ripped off a 63-yard touchdown run in an attempt to change the complexion of the first half.Īfter forcing their first punt, UNC used a pair of big-time throws from Sam Howell to march to Carolina’s 13-yard line in four plays. The Tar Heels find the scoring zone early in the second quarter. Parker White connected on a 30-yard field goal to become the program’s all-time leading scorer with 360 career points.
