Special teams magic lifts Tar Heels past Bearcats

Posted Dec 28, 2013
North Carolina needed something extraordinary to complete its improvement from a 1-5 start and finish with a winning record. The Tar Heels received it at the Belk Bowl Saturday from their special teams units, especially Ryan Switzer and T.J. Logan. The freshmen return men each scored touchdowns — Logan on a first-quarter kickoff, Switzer on a third-quarter punt — as UNC beat Cincinnati 39-17. (Durham Herald-Sun)
