“The Kick”: Weiler’s 54-Yard FG Gives UNC Football Upset Win at No. 12 Florida State

Posted Oct 1, 2016
For the second straight week Larry Fedora and the UNC football team needed a miracle, and for the second straight week they got one. Nick Weiler’s 54-yard field goal as time expired gave the Tar Heels a 37-35 victory over No. 12 Florida State, as Fedora earned perhaps his most important win as a head coach. Not since 2001 had UNC defeated a top-15 team on the road. (Chapelboro.com)
