UNC knows turnovers hurt its kicking game

Posted Oct 19, 2006

North Carolina's John Bunting would like to see his team score more touchdowns than field goals. But if the Tar Heels need three points, Bunting has the utmost faith in junior place-kicker Connor Barth. Unfortunately for Bunting, the Tar Heels have turned the ball over to the point where Barth isn't getting too many cracks. Barth is 5-for-5 in field goal attempts this season, the least amount in the league. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
