UNC's Ground Game Rolling Along Posted Oct 7, 2015 North Carolina’s ground game has rediscovered its traction through five games. Last fall, UNC ranked 81st nationally in rushing offense (151.4 ypg) and 89th in rushing yards per play (3.97) due largely to inexperience along the offensive line and at running back. Thus far in 2015, the Tar Heels rank 22nd nationally in rushing offense (219.8 ypg) and eighth in rushing yards per play (6.11). (Inside Carolina)
