Tar Heels hope kickers regroup for bowl push

Posted Nov 13, 2014
If North Carolina wants to make a late bowl push, the Tar Heels need their kicking game to improve. They've used senior Thomas Moore and sophomore Nick Weiler to kick field goals this season, though neither has provided reliable production. That's made the kicking job an open competition for much of the past two weeks, heading into Saturday's home game with Pittsburgh. (Associated Press)
