‘Man, don’t do that’: UNC’s kickoff return for TD almost costs Mack Brown a win

Posted Sep 8, 2022
The reason App State scored twice in the last 31 seconds is the special teams disaster created by North Carolina sophomore tight end Bryson Nesbit. With the Tar Heels ahead 56-55, Nesbit did the last thing Mack Brown wanted him to do – return a kickoff for a touchdown. Nesbit caught the Mountaineers’ onside kick, saw daylight and took off running. (On3.com)
