Posted Sep 23, 2011

That puts the onus on redshirt freshman kicker Thomas Moore, who will replace injured senior Casey Barth, to have a solid road debut. "I don't know that I feel the extra pressure, because I understand that when you're the guy, you've got to get it done," Moore said this week. (Raleigh News & Observer)
