A Kicker Finds His Place

Posted Aug 11, 2009
For a kicker, technique and repetition are of the utmost importance. Casey Barth knows that. Fifteen times, he jogged out to attempt a field goal last season. Ten times, he put the ball through the uprights. Barth was perfect on 33 extra-point attempts. The past behind him, Barth says his freshman year served as a learning experience, a trial-by-fire to prepare the kicker for bigger kicks to come. (Tar Heel Blue)
