North Carolina's Fourth-Down Conversion Speaks Volumes

Posted Sep 8, 2019
Trailing by five points, North Carolina faced fourth-and-17 with the game on the line. Sam Howell let it fly. The pass was low, but Rontavius Groves was wide open on the other side of the first-down marker and reeled in the 20-yard catch. Through two games this season, UNC has completed two fourth-quarter comebacks against Power 5 opponents. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
