Cota caught the ball at about the 1-yard line and got it across the goal line as he was being tackled by Don Chapman. The play was upheld on review. Lewis then banked in the PAT.“It’s an option route and there’s a lot of different angles, so it’s hard to stop,” Nix said.
North Carolina got the ball to the Oregon 42 with one second left before Drake Maye’s desperation heave into the end zone fell incomplete. The Tar Heels took a 27-21 lead with 2:34 to go on Noah Burnette’s 44-yard field goal, his second of the quarter.
