UNC Football Showcases Mental Toughness in Win Against App State

Posted Sep 11, 2023
As one Fred Rogers once said, “Look for the helpers.” That’s what the UNC football team did after seeing a chance to win Saturday's game with App State slip through its fingers. Kicker Ryan Coe had just sent his game-winning 39-yard field goal attempt wide left, and the Mountaineers were filled with new life. The game could’ve easily slipped away from UNC. (Chapelboro.com)
