LOUISVILLE, Ky. – North Carolina running back Michael Carter has once again placed his name on the weekly Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll.
Making the list this week are: Michael Carter, North Carolina; Justin Hall, Ball State; Elijah Moore, Ole Miss; and Chris Smith, Lafayette (LA).
Carter touched the ball 18 times in three different ways and scored once as the Tar Heels came from behind to beat Wake Forest, 59-53. He carried the ball 16 times for 74 yards and caught four passes for 55 yards, including a spectacular 46-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter when the Tar Heels erased a 21-point deficit.
