Both have been playing out of their minds this season. Bain is in contention for the Heisman Trophy while Mauigoa continues to flash early-day-one NFL Draft potential. Each will have to be leaders for the rest of the season as the Hurricanes look to make the College Football Playoff this season.

They still control their own destiny if they win out, as they look to get back on track against Stanford.
