Milestone means nothing to Bernard without win
Posted Nov 5, 2011
Giovani Bernard's 47 rushing yards against the Wolfpack on Saturday made him the first UNC running back since Jonathan Linton in 1997 to pass the thousand-yard barrier, helping re-establish a long line of Tar Heel backs to reach the prestigious mark, starting with Don McCauley way back in 1969. But none of that concerned Bernard in the least after Saturday's setback to the Wolfpack.
