Don McCauley’s toughness, records shine 50 years later
Posted May 29, 2020
UNC running back Don McCauley ended the 1970 season with 1,863 rushing yards. That number wasn’t eclipsed by an ACC player until former Boston College running back Andre Williams rushed for 2,177 yards in 2013. Now 70, McCauley’s 360 rush attempts and 375 plays from scrimmage in 1970 are still the most by any player in a season in ACC history.
