Brooks Foster went high to haul in game-winner

Posted Oct 1, 2008
Brooks Foster’s name will be remembered for years to come by Miami fans. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound wide receiver from Boiling Springs broke their hearts Saturday. He hauled in a 14-yard touchdown pass from Cameron Sexton with 46 seconds left in regulation to lead the Tar Heels to a 28-24 come-from-behind victory. He says it wasn’t until watching film of the play that he realized how big it was. (Spartanburg Herald-Journal)
