The Heels lost in another frustrating Saturday afternoon clash. For the first time in Larry Fedora’s tenure, The Oldest Rivalry in the South was won by the Fighting Thomas Jeffersons from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Yet, for the first time since Chazz Surratt’s 56 yard scamper against Duke, the rushing game showed signs of life.
More specifically, Michael Carter provided the offensive spark on another lackluster day from the offense. Below we break down his two long runs that should give UNC players, coaches, and fans a small glimmer of hope for the future.
56-yard Scamper
On his first carry of the second half, Carter ran through the UVA defense for a 56 yard gain, thanks to great blocking execution from the offensive line.
