Bill Belichick said North Carolina will keep giving opportunities to Benjamin Hall, Jaylen McGill and Demon June unless one back clearly separates himself, while Hall described the opener's rotation as based on the coaches' feel rather than predetermined carry shares.

Hall started and finished with 11 carries for 36 yards against TCU, McGill gained 33 yards on five carries including North Carolina's only offensive touchdown, and June took all six of his carries for 25 yards on the final possession beginning with 4:05 left.

North Carolina's successful four-minute closing drive did not erase an otherwise limited rushing output of 90 yards on 29 attempts, or 3.1 yards per carry, and Belichick said film review showed missed yardage opportunities in both the running and passing games.

Belichick praised all three North Carolina backs' ability to create yards and protect the passer, supporting continued competitive depth rather than establishing a permanent lead back from the opener's starting assignment or closing-drive usage.
