Ryan Switzer makes history in Belk Bowl championship

Posted Dec 29, 2013
On UNC’s first drive of the second half, Ryan Switzer calmly fielded a 38-yard Cincinnati punt, eluded two diving tackles, and cranked his jets into overdrive, slicing up the center of the field into the end zone for a career-long 86-yard touchdown return. The play marked his fifth punt return touchdown of the season, tying an NCAA record and establishing an ACC record. (Daily Tar Heel)
