UNC honors Casey Barth, Jonathan Cooper

Posted Sep 28, 2010
Placekicker Casey Barth was named UNC’s Special Teams Player of the Game, but not necessarily for the 25-yard fourth-quarter field goal that gave his team its final cushion. According to coach Butch Davis, it was his kickoffs that helped him stand out. Fellow Wilmington native Jonathan Cooper was selected as the Tar Heels’ top offensive lineman for grading out at 89 percent, with no mental mistakes. (Wilmington Star News)
