UNC easily handles ECU 35-20

Posted Oct 1, 2011

Tailback Gio Bernard recorded his third straight 100-yard rushing game, quarterback Bryn Renner threw for four touchdowns, and UNC’s defense forced four turnovers to beat East Carolina 35-20 on Saturday in front of a record crowd at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
