Benjamin Hall leads North Carolina backfield in committee rotation against TCU

Benjamin Hall emerged as the primary running back for North Carolina in the recent game against TCU, taking the majority of carries during the first half. Hall logged 27 snaps, recording 11 carries for 36 yards and one catch before his workload was impacted by a fumble in the third quarter. Sophomore Jaylen McGill also saw significant involvement, playing 25 snaps with five carries and one touchdown. Despite his high usage last season, Demon June served in a limited capacity, receiving only nine snaps and six carries that largely came late in the fourth quarter. Head coach Belichick has frequently utilized a committee approach at the position, and player availability appears linked to both game performance and mistakes on the field. The shifting rotation suggests that forecasting the primary back for upcoming contests remains difficult.
