Boston, defense lead UNC past Cincinnati in Belk Bowl

Posted Dec 28, 2013
Tre Boston saw Brendon Kay’s pass sail well over its mark and steer course directly toward Dominique Green. He saw the ball deflect off of the North Carolina freshman’s fingertips, and he saw it as a sign from God — a blessing — that the ball suddenly floated toward him. He wrapped his hands around it — the last football he’d touch in a collegiate game — and he didn’t let go of it. (Daily Tar Heel)
