GoHeels Exclusive: Spring Football Notebook

In a freshman season that consisted of multiple memorable plays, one still sticks out to North Carolina tailback Michael Carter.

En route to a season-high 157 rushing yards against Virginia, Carter broke free for a 56-yard run, his longest of the season, early in the third quarter. It initially looked like he'd score a touchdown. But he couldn't outlast the trailing safety, who tackled Carter at the Cavaliers' 11-yard line.

Although he scored just two plays later, Carter criticized himself after the game, a 20-14 loss, for not finishing the run. And he's still frustrated by that five months later.
