UNC notes: Longer kicks, more scholarships and move-in help

Posted Aug 22, 2011
Last season, North Carolina’s Casey Barth proved he could make the big kicks when his team needed them the most – booting, for example, a game-tyer, then game-winner, against Tennessee in the Music City Bowl. Now, the fourth-year starter wants to prove he make the long ones, too. Barth, a senior from Wilmington, spent the offseason working to get more distance on his kickoffs and field goals.
