Versus Elon

62-0. That was a stats stuffing game worthy of the video game NCAA Football 13 if there ever was one. The first half of the game was the Gio Bernard show. He had a 59 yard TD run, a 6 yard TD catch, and a 70 yard punt return for a TD. The 'Heels led 41-0 at halftime and it was just the kind of start the 'Heels needed. They removed their starters before the Third Quarter was half over. Before the game started I had visions of footballs filling the air, passing on every down, and the game turning into fast break football. The television broadcast timed the Tarheels were snapping the ball 16 seconds after it was marked down by the officials. In an interview at the end of the first half, Larry Fedora made the comment that he didn't feel they were moving fast enough. The game was already out of hand so Larry Fedora had to dial it down in the second half when the reserves were put into the game. There were some impressive numbers that came out of this game. 14 different receivers caught passes for North Carolina. They set an ACC record for punt return yardage with 260 as Gio Bernard, Roy Smith, and Erik Highsmith all returned punts. There were too many good plays to mention all of them. Freshman Quinshad Davis made an ESPN play of the day worthy acrobatic catch for his first college reception. Defensive back Tim Scott jumped a wide receiver screen and made the interception. Defensive Lineman Sylvester Williams had two sacks. Defensive back Jabari Price led the team in tackles and had an interception. Offensive Lineman Jonathan Cooper made great blocks throughout the game. Quarterback Bryn Renner had 3 TD passes. A lot of players got valuable game time. The only disappointment I had with the game was the empty seats especially at the end of the game. I think everyone bailed at halftime and I have to admit it was over after the first quarter, but I always try to stay to the end of whatever game I go to. That is what being a fan is all about.
