Casey Barth surprised by early slump

Posted Oct 1, 2009
No one is more surprised by the shaky kicking of UNC's Casey Barth this season than the sophomore from Wilmington. Barth is 4-of-7 in field goals this season, including a miss against Georgia Tech on Saturday that could have given his team their first points of the game and some momentum. Even though Barth has made all three field goal attempts from between 20 and 29 yards, he has missed both from the 30- to 39-yard range. (Durham Herald-Sun)
