CHAPEL HILL — While Giovani Bernard ran up the sideline and into the legend of the North Carolina-N.C. State football rivalry here at Kenan Stadium on Saturday, his teammates on the Tar Heels’ sideline ran with him.
They swarmed him in the back of the end zone, after Bernard’s 74-yard punt return with 13 seconds remaining broke a tie and gave UNC an improbable 43-35 victory against the Wolfpack.
“He just kept running, kept running,” Sylvester Williams, the Tar Heels’ senior defensive tackle, said. “The little guy ran for his life, man. He ran for his life.”
