Tar Heels aim to get ground game going vs. Pack

Posted Oct 25, 2012
No ACC team has stopped UNC running back Giovani Bernard yet this season But the Wolfpack held Bernard to 47 yards on 18 carries a year ago, which is a big reason the Tar Heels were shut out for the first time in Raleigh in a 13-0 game. “They were coming at us, and we didn’t have an answer,” Bernard said. “I think this year we definitely have something for them.” (Durham Herald-Sun)
