UNC-Florida State Postgame Notes

Posted Oct 1, 2016
UNC place-kicker Nick Weiler booted a career-long 54-yard field goal to send Carolina to a 37-35 win over No. 12 Florida State. Weiler’s 54-yard field goal equaled the second-longest in UNC history. Only Dan Orner’s 55-yard field goal in 2002 vs. Syracuse was longer. Wide receiver Mack Hollins recorded his 20th career receiving touchdown which ranks third all-time at UNC. (GoHeels.com)
