For 38 games, UNC running back Omarion Hampton has graced the UNC backfield, taking 622 handoffs from four different quarterbacks for 3,565 yards and 36 touchdowns. Hampton’s 38th game, which came Saturday, was also likely his last in a Tar Heel uniform, as he finished with 263 total yards and two touchdowns in UNC’s 35-30 loss to NC State.
