North Carolina running back [autotag]Omarion Hampton[/autotag] put on quite the performance against Georgia State, leading UNC to the 35-28 win.
The four-star recruit from Clayton, North Carolina, has been the ideal running back for UNC, scoring a touchdown in all three games this season.
His performance against the Panthers was his best of the season, where he took over the ball game for a struggling offense. Hampton exploded for 110 yards and scored two touchdowns, UNC’s only touchdowns in the second half. But what’s most impressive is that 107 of his 110 yards came in the second half.
One of the touchdowns came from a 58-yard highlight run to the end zone, giving North Carolina the 28-28 tie.
