Greg Smith, Benjamin Hall shine in UNC Football's PFF grades

Buried in the snap counts and Pro Football Focus grades from UNC’s 28-20 collapse at Clemson is a reminder that not every number is grim.

Running back Benjamin Hall finished with a team-best offensive grade of 77.3. (Tar Heel Tribune)

With 8:11 remaining, the Tar Heels faced second-and-goal at the Clemson 8-yard line. It was a prime chance to make it a two-possession game and seemingly bury Clemson's comeback hopes. Instead, the referees cleared the field after lightning was detected eight miles from the stadium. After a two-hour 19-minute delay, the teams retook the field. (TarHeel247)
