The Cal game was quite the frustrating one for UNC. The defense allowed 469 yards. The offense was able to put up yardage, but couldn’t finish several drives, and turned the ball over three times.
Trying to find bright spots in all of that is not the easiest to do. However, there was one player for Carolina who comes out of this game looking pretty good.
True freshman running back Michael Carter went for 94 yards and two touchdowns in his first college game, averaging over eight yards a carry.
In the first half, Carter racked up 70 yards on seven attempts.
