The Kicker: How Nick Weiler Returned a Crucial Element to UNC’s Offense

Posted Sep 19, 2015
When UNC junior place-kicker Nick Weiler watched the ball sail through the uprights after a career-long 48 yard attempt last weekend, it was proof that times have changed. Last season the Tar Heels failed to hit a single field goal attempt from beyond 30 yards. In UNC’s first two games this year Weiler has connected on all three of his tries so far–with the shortest being from 38–emerging as one of the team’s biggest surprises. (Chapelboro.com)
