UNC Football: Paysour Claims Top Spot on SportsCenter Top 10

UNC Football wide receiver Kobe Paysour had a highlight reel play in the 40-7 win over Syracuse that was certain to gain attention, and it did just that.

When we saw it happen live in Kenan Stadium on Saturday, everyone watching in person and at home immediately had the same reaction… how did he do that?

Of course, we’re talking about UNC Football wide receiver Kobe Paysour’s insane athletic catch and run in the third quarter against Syracuse.

Drake Maye had a rare errant throw behind Paysour on a crossing pattern, and Kobe bailed him out by tipping the ball to himself, making the catch, and then running away from the defense. Honestly, you just have to see it for yourself.

Of course, this type of play lands you in the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 Plays of the Day, but for Paysour, it not only was in the Top 10, it was the No. 1 play of the day.

It was just one of those days for the UNC Football program where everything went right. From a blocked punt being picked up and converted into a first down to errant passes being caught for touchdowns, the Tar Heels took advantage of the ball bouncing their way en route to a 40-7 win over the Orange.
