North Carolina's Gio Bernard just 35 yards shy of 1,000

Posted Nov 3, 2011
All eyes were on UNC running back Giovani Bernard as medical personnel attended to his left knee, which had been bent back at an un-natural angle near the end of a run against Wake Forest. The 5-foot-8 1/2, 205-pounder from Davie, Fla., would return for UNC's next series on offense to finish off an 154-yard rushing performance against Wake that has brought him with 35 yards of 1,000 for the season.
