In Saturday's 43-35 win over rival NC State, Bernard changed the game and the ACC race with one highlight reel play. With 13 seconds left on the clock and the game tied at 35, Bernard made his case for frontrunner for ACC Player of the Year when he returned a punt 73 yards for what would be the game-winning touchdown.
