That’s the dilemma UNC kicker Casey Barth finds himself dealing with these days. Line him up at practice and he’ll make every field goal he tries. But dress him up in a uniform, put 50,000 people in the stands and turn the television cameras on, and he’s suddenly developed a case of the wide-rights. (Wilmington Star News)
