Casey Barth kicked a 23-yard field goal in the second overtime to have North Carolina beat Tennessee 30-27 in a Music City Bowl that just had a goofy finish that would make any SEC game proud from this past season...
Barth kicked a 39-yard field goal at the end of regulation after officials reviewed what they thought had been the final play of the game and went ahead and penalized the Tar Heels ((who finished 8-5 on the year)) for having "more than 11 men" on the field. As the UNC offense was trying to clock the ball, the field goal unit was running on the field at the same time.
There were, definitely, more than 11 men on the field...
The Big Ten officiating crew also announced T.J. Yates had spiked the ball with 1 second left- after the review...
That allowed Barth to run out the field goal that tied it at 20.
Tennessee ((now 6-7)) got another opportunity to have defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Tyler Bray threw a 25-yard TD in the first overtime, but Quan Sturdivant picked him off in the top of the second OT...
Here's the ending...
