Gio Bernard fielded the ball at the Carolina 26, moved to his right, and ran. All the way to the end zone. "I saw all blue jerseys, dark blue so I knew I had a wall coming back at me," he said. "I just started yelling 'go go go.' I can't remember who was in front of me, he was able to block the punter and I was able to outrun the last guy. I still can't believe it. I'm still shaking right now." (GoHeels.com)
