Bernard's return bolsters UNC rushing attack

Posted Sep 5, 2011
North Carolina's Giovani Bernard turned in a strong debut for the Tar Heels after missing last season with a knee injury. He could give the Tar Heels a strong complement to starting tailback Ryan Houston all season. Bernard ran for 64 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries in the easy win against James Madison.
