Posted Oct 27, 2012
Very few, if any, of the 62,000 people in Kenan Stadium on Saturday were around when Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice played football for North Carolina. Justice, who died in 2003 at age 79, played his last game for the Tar Heels in 1949. But if you dig long enough, there are a grainy game films of his long runs and what you would see is a lot like the way Gio Bernard played in Saturday’s 43-35 comeback win over N.C. State.
