Bernard punt return takes place among UNC's greatest plays

Posted Oct 29, 2012
On the walls of the press box at Kenan Stadium, some of the great football plays in UNC history live on. There’s Connor Barth after his 42-yard field goal beat Miami in 2004. There’s the UNC defense standing up N.C. State’s T.A. McLendon at the goal line during the final moments of another victory that same season. There’s little doubt that a blown-up photo of Giovani Bernard will take its place alongside those and others. (Raleigh News & Observer)
