North Carolina: 289

Without Sony Michel, the Dawgs gashed the Tar Heels’ run defense to the tune of 289 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry. Nick Chubb had 222 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries while Brian Herrien even added 59 yards and a touchdown on seven carries. North Carolina also ranks 104th in the nation in run defense, allowing 217.3 rushing yards per game, so maybe a little bit too much was made of that first performance.
