ACC Player Of The Year Watch, Oct. 16

Posted Oct 16, 2012
4. Giovani Bernard: In two weeks, Even after missing two and a half games due to injury (and carrying the ball just two times against Idaho), Bernard is leading the ACC with 652 rushing yards. And that’s not his most impressive statistic. Without him, the Tar Heels are 0-2. With him, they’re 5-0. If UNC wins all of its remaining games, Bernard will have a strong case for Player of the Year. (ACC Sports Journal)
