From National Champ to ACC Player of the Week

What a week a win makes. Two weeks ago people were asking questions about the Tar Heel running game and today they are giving a key part of it an award.

North Carolina Barrington Edwards was named the the ACC offensive back of the week Monday after he rushed for 129 yards on 25 carries and scored one touchdown in the Tar Heels' 31-24 victory over NC State on Saturday. Against the ACC's second-ranked defense, Edwards got North Carolina started early with a career-best 62-yard run on the second play of the game. With North Carolina trailing by 10 in the third quarter, the sophomore from Bowie, Md., capped an 80-yard Tar Heel drive with a two-yard touchdown run.Edwards was quick to give praise to the offensive line, wide receivers and other backs for the strong blocking against State."They made me me today," Edwards said after the game.
