UNC Football Position Previews: Running Backs

Last season, the duo of Michael Carter and Javonte Williams combined for one of the best rushing attacks in program history. The two running backs set records for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Williams broke the UNC records for scoring in a season (132) and total touchdowns in a season (22). His 19 rushing touchdowns tied Don McCauley for the program record.

Carter set the Carolina record for rushing average for a season (7.98), while Williams earned the second spot with an average of 7.26 yards. Carter and Williams were part of a prolific offensive unit that made its mark on the UNC record book.
