Season wrap: North Carolina football

Posted Dec 7, 2011
There were plenty of standout individual performers for UNC this year, as Giovani Bernard was one of the top rookie running backs in the country, receiver Dwight Jones was one of the best in the ACC, and UNC again had a defense comprised of some NFL-bound talent. UNC won six home games for the first time since 1993, and put together a respectable season despite the firing of their head coach before the season began. (ESPN.com)
