UNC vs. Western Carolina - Player of the Game: Michael Carter

Four years ago in his North Carolina debut, we gave Michael Carter our player of the game award. He we for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries in a losing effort against Cal in Chapel Hill. Now in his final ever home game, let’s give it to him again.

The Tar Heels beat Western Carolina 49-9 in the final home game of the season, and the senior running back had himself a day.

On his Senior Day, Carter ran for 73 yards on eight carries, while recording one catch for six more yards.
