Noted and Quoted: UNC vs. ECU Post-game

When the North Carolina starting lineup was announced just prior to Saturday’s football game against East Carolina, a familiar face popped up on the Kenan Stadium video board — but not necessarily one that people expected to see. Running back Giovani Bernard, who was held out of UNC’s previous two games with a nagging knee injury, was back on the field for the Tar Heels.


Halftime update: UNC football team leads ECU 10-6

After a disastrous first half against Louisville last week that left North Carolina trailing 36-7 at halftime, the Tar Heels got off to a better start against East Carolina, leading 10-6 at halftime. Though the teams traded punts on each of the first three drives of the game, UNC overcame dismal field positon on its second drive to convert an 11-play, 91-yard drive, which ended with a 14-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Bryn Renner to running back Giovani Bernard. Bernard, who returned after missing two games with a knee injury, had seven yards rushing and 36 yards receiving on the drive, including a 30-yard catch that ushered the Tar Heels into the red zone.
