Posted Nov 8, 2005

It was special teams that started the game on the right foot, it was Connor Barth’s right foot that gave North Carolina the lead and it was the special teams again that clinched the game for a team desperate to stay in bowl contention. The North Carolina football team scored all 16 of its points via special teams — seven from the opening kickoff and an additional nine on Barth’s three field goals. (Daily Tar Heel)
