So why didn't Casey Barth kick?

Posted Sep 15, 2008
If you're wondering why Casey Barth was missing in action for the North Carolina football team during Thursday's big win at Rutgers, I have the answer. The original plan was for Barth to kick extra points and short field goals, as he did in the Tar Heels' season-opening victory against McNeese State. But according to coach Butch Davis, the freshman walkon had a difficult week of practice leading up to the Rutgers game. (Wilmington Star News)
