UNC RB tandem rushes for FBS-record 544 yards

NCAAF

North Carolina running backs Michael Carter and Javonte Williams made NCAA history in a 62-26 win over No. 10 Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, rushing for the most yards by teammates in a game in FBS history.

The two combined for 544 yards rushing, with Carter running for 308 yards and two touchdowns and Williams running for 236 yards and three touchdowns. Both averaged more than 10 yards per carry.

The previous FBS record was 506 yards rushing, by Buffalo running backs Jaret Patterson and Kevin Marks Jr., who accomplished the feat two weeks ago.

Carter and Williams are also the third pair of teammates in FBS history to each record 200 rushing yards against an AP-ranked opponent.

As a team, North Carolina rushed for 554 yards, six touchdowns and 10.1 yards per carry. That is the second-highest rushing total in school history, behind 555 yards against Virginia in 1945.
