Runs wild in win Smith posted 22 carries for 178 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 46-42 victory versus North Carolina.

Impact Smith saw an uptick in opportunities when starter Jamal Haynes exited the game with an injury. The senior running back finished with season-high numbers in all rushing categories while finding the end zone for the first time on a 70-yard run in the fourth quarter. The 5-foot-11 back could see a similar role should Haynes miss next week's gama against Virginia.
