Omarion Hampton didn’t play for UNC in the Fenway Bowl but traveled to Boston to support his teammates.
North Carolina and interim head coach Freddie Kitchens looked shell-shocked as the UConn Huskies built a 24-7 lead at halftime.
The game would end 27-14 to end a disappointing showing from North Carolina.
The only notable part of the game happened off the field, and it involved someone close to Omarion Hampton.
One short video showed an unidentified woman on the sidelines near the star running back as ESPN cut to him watching the game.
The woman could be seen in a trance as she licked her lips.
On the other hand, Omarion Hampton was seen giving out a huge yawn.
