Kick-starting confidence has UNC’s Weiler on target

Posted Sep 21, 2015
Without his mind and body right last season, Nick Weiler’s strong right leg was like a Ferrari that couldn’t kick into a higher gear. How can a kicker who was unable to make a field-goal attempt beyond 23 yards a year ago make all five attempts this year, all at least 32 yards long, including two 48-yarders and a 47-yarder? He’s gone from a kicker who couldn’t keep his starting job a year ago to one of the nation’s best so far this season. (Raleigh & Company)
