Grading Week 5 in the ACC

Posted Oct 3, 2011
North Carolina – The Tar Heels finally tipped the turnover scale in their favor by forcing four in a 35-20 win at East Carolina. UNC's defense bent a lot but didn't break much, and the takeaways helped it forge a 28-3 halftime lead, and it coasted from there. Big plays and Giovani Bernard got it done offensively, as UNC improved to 4-1 on the season. Grade: B. (Fox Sports South)
