"The bowls are interesting in that it's the finish of this year and it's kind of the beginning of next year," Hurricanes coach Mark Richt said. "So, it's very meaningful to our seniors. Obviously, it'll be the last game that they'll wear that uniform and wear the 'U' on their helmet.

They’ve just got to understand that it’s different for them because people know who they are."

But that doesn’t mean change should be avoided. The Hurricanes offense could use a facelift.

“All these guys, they’re not my sons, but in a lot of ways they’re like my sons,” Richt said. “We like to treat our players the way we would treat our own sons, our own children. As a staff, one of our big philosophies is that. So, when anything happens with your own child you grieve for him. It’s not easy to swallow for anybody.”
