Posted Aug 31, 2024
With 1:44 left in regulation, North Carolina place kicker Noah Burnette hit his fourth field goal of the night to give the Tar Heels a two-point lead. Minnesota promptly drove down the field to set up a chance at a game-winning 47-yard field goal. The kick missed, and North Carolina beat the Golden Gophers, 19-17. There was only one problem.
