UNC kicking itself for miscues

Posted Sep 12, 2007

Snap. Hold. Kick. "As fast as you say it," North Carolina senior place-kicker Connor Barth said, "the ball's on its way through the uprights or it isn't. That's it." It sounds simple, but as the Tar Heels have shown via two missed extra points this season and a flubbed field goal attempt in the final minute of a loss at East Carolina, those 1.2 seconds can be beset with complications.
