Posted Oct 24, 2023
With Omarion Hampton, the ACC’s leading rusher, at the forefront of the ground attack, UNC found success running the football in the first half against Virginia. By halftime, he had 76 yards on 14 carries. But in the second half, Hampton carried the ball only five times for 36 yards (7.2 yards per rush) and went without a touch the final 8:51 of game time.
