The Seminoles, behind North Carolina by as many as 21 points on the afternoon, came back to take a one-point lead with 23 seconds to go. But Nick Weiler nailed a career-long 54-yard field goal as time expired and the Tar Heels salvaged a 37-35 game that may have eliminated the Seminoles from the national title picture. FSU,…
