In Carolina's six wins, the Heels have held their opponents to just 16.0 points per game and just 268.7 yards of total offense per game, while averaging 4.8 sacks and 7.7 tackles for loss per contest.

Runnin' Runnin'
A Tar Heel has rushed for 100+ yards in 10 of UNC's first 11 games of the season. UNC was one of just two teams in the nation to have a 100-yard rusher in each of its first 10 games.

O, O, O, Omarion
Omarion Hampton has rushed for over 100 yards in nine of 11 games, and set a UNC record with eight consecutive games with 100 or more rushing yards.

Bowl Bound
Carolina is bowl eligible for the sixth consecutive season, which is the second longest streak in program history. The Heels played in seven straight bowls from 1992-98.
