Omarion Hampton posted career highs of 35 carries for 244 yards and a key late touchdown, helping North Carolina beat Wake Forest.

It was the latest huge performance for the Tar Heels' workhorse back, who cracked the 100-yard rushing mark for the eighth straight game. He found the end zone when he hurdled defenders near the goal line and powered through contact with 2:26 left for a 31-17 lead.

Hampton's scoring run set his career highs for both carries and rushing yards, along with ultimately sending the Tar Heels to a third consecutive win. He also moved into fifth on UNC's all-time rushing list with 3,327 yards, passing both Don McCauley and Kelvin Bryant.

Jacolby Criswell ran and threw for touchdowns for UNC, while linebacker Power Echols had a leaping snag for an interception and returned it 42 yards for a third-quarter touchdown.

The Tar Heels have turned things around from a four-game skid that included giving up 70 points in a loss to James Madison on Sept. 21, as well as the emotional blow from the death of teammate Tylee Craft due to cancer. It's why Brown said his team had been in “such a hole" before emerging from an open week with lopsided road wins against Virginia and Florida State while racking up 17 sacks and now pushing through this one.

Clawson said that Bachmeier injured his left shoulder after being taken down on a running play.

2024 North Carolina Tar Heels Football Schedule

Although North Carolina is the ultimate basketball school, it has an underrated football program. The Tar Heels have nine conference championships and two division titles. North Carolina is a regular on the bowl circuit. However, its last ACC championship was in 1980. Pro Football Hall of Fame members Lawrence Taylor and Chris Hanburger played for UNC.

North Carolina head coach Mack Brown is on his second tour of duty. Brown is the winningest coach in North Carolina history and has led the Tar Heels to a school record ten bowl appearances. In his first tour of duty, Brown led the Tar Heels to four Top 20 final finishes with three double-digit win seasons and a final ranking of 6th in 1997. After winning a national championship at Texas and doing ESPN TV work, Brown returned to take over a program that went 2-9 the season before his arrival. Brown has led the Tar Heels to bowl games every season since taking command in 2019. In 2020, the Tar Heels finished 13th in the final CFP rankings.

While Brown has had prolific offenses in his second tour of duty, he has yet to find a defense to make the team complete.
