On this day in North Carolina history October 26, 1895. North Carolina helped change football forever, and it happened because a desperate player broke the rules. UNC was playing Georgia in Atlanta when fullback Joel Whitaker faced a Georgia rush that threatened to block his punt. Instead of kicking the ball, he threw it forward to teammate George Stephens. Stephens caught it and ran 70 yards for a touchdown. Georgia's coach, legendary Pop Warner, protested. The forward pass was illegal, but the referee never saw the throw. The touchdown stood, and UNC won 6 to 0. The forward pass wouldn't become legal until 1906. Think about that the next time you watch a quarterback throw a touchdown. A play that helped shape modern football started with a desperate decision by a Tar Heel. North Carolina history is full of stories like this one. 🏈
