Tate Lifts Tar Heels to Victory, 35-27

Posted Aug 31, 2008
Brandon Tate finished the contest with 93 receiving yards, 106 rushing yards, 142 punt return yards and 56 kick return yards. But possibly the most interesting statistic of the evening is in the fact that this performance is only second-best all-time in the ACC. Wake Forest’s John Leach tallied 411 yards against Maryland in 1993. Here’s the kicker, though – Leach needed 51 touches to set that record, while Tate only needed 11. (Inside Carolina)
