North Carolina running back Javonte Williams announced on his Instagram account that he will not play in the Orange Bowl against Texas A&M in order to began preparation for the NFL draft. The junior from Wallace was the fourth major contributor for the Tar Heels to decide against playing in the Jan. 2 game. UNC coach Mack Brown said last week that Williams was practicing with the team while he was still gathering information about his draft status. Williams decision leaves Carolina's high-scoring offense without three of its 1,000-yard gainers from this season. Williams joined Carter and Dyami Brown, the first receiver in program history with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, as the major offensive contributors who will skip the game. - Raleigh News Observer

12/23/20 - Chazz Surratt, rSr/2021, North Carolina, 6-2, 229 (DS#3 ILB) + More +

Instead of preparing for Texas A&M, North Carolina's leading tackler, leading rusher and leading receiver will instead start getting ready for the NFL Draft. Linebacker Chazz Surratt, running back Michael Carter and wide receiver Dyami Brown all announced Monday over social media that their college football careers will end short of appearing with the Tar Heels in the Orange Bowl. Surratt and Carter were both seniors; Brown was a junior. Surratt, who had 91 tackles, has led the team in tackles the past two seasons after converting from quarterback his freshman and sophomore seasons. His absence will leave quite the void in the interior of the defense. Starting linebacker Jeremiah Gemmel said he's excited to see what sophomore Eugene Asante will do with the opportunity to play. - Charlotte Observer

North Carolina's rushing performance against Miami was unlike any seen in the Football Bowl Subdivision in three seasons. Led by Michael Carter and Javonte Williams, the Tar Heels piled up 554 yards on the ground in their 62-26 win over Miami on Saturday, the most since Navy had 569 against Cincinnati on Sept. 23, 2017. North Carolina averaged 10 yards per carry on 55 attempts; Navy averaged 7.9 on 72 attempts against Cincinnati. Carter finished with 308 yards and two touchdowns and Williams had 236 yards and three TDs. Their combined 544 yards set the NCAA record for rushing by two teammates, beating the 506 by Buffalo's Jaret Patterson (409) and Kevin Marks (97) against Kent State two weeks earlier. Carter and Williams were the seventh pair in FBS history to go for 200 yards in the same game. - AP College Football

Michael Carter and Javonte Williams set an NCAA record by combining for 544 yards rushing, and No. 20 North Carolina embarrassed No. 9 Miami 62-26 on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams. Carter ran for 308 yards and two touchdowns, while Williams had 236 yards and three touchdowns for the Tar Heels (8-3, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference). Per the NCAA, it was the seventh time that two teammates each ran for at least 200 yards, the first since 2016 and the first such instance in ACC history. And the numbers only got worse for Miami (8-2, 7-2). Carter and Williams's combined total topped the NCAA's listed FBS record for teammates, set on Nov. 30 when Jaret Patterson (409) and Kevin Marks (97) rushed for 506 for Buffalo against Kent State.

North Carolina finished with 778 yards - the most ever yielded by Miami and a Tar Heels record - and 554 yards rushing, also the most allowed in Hurricanes history. Sam Howell threw for a score, ran for a score and caught a TD pass for the Tar Heels. It was the third-most points allowed in Miami history, the most since 66 for Syracuse in 1998. The record is 70 by Texas A&M in 1944. D'Eriq King completed 18 of 30 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns for Miami, which had won five in a row and probably lost any hope of playing in the Orange Bowl. It was 34-10 at the half, and North Carolina kept the ball for 7 minutes, 36 seconds on the opening drive of the third quarter - chewing up clock and adding to the margin when Howell stretched the tip of the ball onto the goal line for another Tar Heel touchdown, capping a 13-play drive. - North Carolina/AP College Football
