Heels mishandle shot at game-winner

Posted Sep 9, 2007

Butch Davis felt comfortable with the outcome of the game resting on Connor Barth's right foot. Unfortunately for Davis and his North Carolina football team, Barth never got a chance to swing his leg with the game on the line. UNC failed to get off a field-goal try in the last minute of the game, and East Carolina took advantage and booted the game-winning kick instead. (Durham Herald-Sun)
