UNC sophomore Michael Carter was named Monday as the ACC Running Back of the Week, following a standout performance in the Tar Heels’ 22-19 loss to Virginia Tech this past weekend.

Carter rushed for a career-high 165 yards on 18 carries, including a pair of 49-yard runs that put the Tar Heels in great position to score.

In addition, the Florida native also caught two passes for 19 yards.

He drew criticism, however, when his fumble at the goal line in the fourth quarter prevented UNC from making it a two-score game and ultimately allowed Virginia Tech to put together a game-winning drive.
