Though lets not forget the kicker won a game this year with a same length FG.

I hate to bring up "those guys" but how many times have I said, ...

"They do not do anything exceptional, but what they do they do exceptionally well." 

 

You just proved my point: The kick was in scope, but missed this time. Where's the remove-all-hope mindset from everyone on the team. 

And before you say I'm bashing Leach, let me take a step back: Why was it 4th and 7? Why wasn't there a first down and continuing drive. We took a sack and then completed a 14 yard pass on 3rd and 20. 

 

Execute ... exceptionally well. Set that as the expectation; set that as your system.

I'd say giving up a 75 yard TD pass immediately after the blocked punt TD gave UNC more hope than the missed FG did.  It was a team effort to allow the game to be close.
