UNC dominates Miami 59-21 to win 9 games straight

Siena: The Saints have a couple of ties to the North Carolina Triangle with them.

The Tar Heels, with the help of two Williams rushing touchdowns, jumped out to a 24-0 lead over the Hurricanes by about the time the second quarter was halfway done.

“I feel like I was always pretty confident”, he said. “It’s because of the leadership from those seniors and those players”.

North Carolina’s Brice Johnson dunks over Temple’s Shawn Alston (3) durning the second half of the Tar heels’ win Friday night at Alumni Hall. “I’ve got high expectations and we didn’t even come close to them”. Fedora has been recognized as an up-and-coming coaching star-the video below just reinforces that idea. We owned them and I owned them as the head coach.

Elijah Hood ran for 132 yards and a score for UNC, which didn’t put up the gaudy yardage numbers from last week’s 66-31 rout of Duke.

“We weren’t as good as we needed to be rebounding the basketball, no question about it, against that size and athleticism”, Dunphy added. “We have a well-rounded, well-balanced offense right now”. Sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya had a solid game last week against Virginia, completing 20-of-26 passes for 286 yards and two scores, he did throw a pick though.

North Carolina is coming off a 26-12 season that ended with a 79-72 loss to Wisconsin in the Sweet 16.

-Saturday will mark Miami’s third straight road contest against a ranked team and fourth game against a ranked opponent in 2015; Miami last topped then-No.

As a whole, North Carolina only totaled 189 passing yards. Cazorla didn’t play like a freshman, though; dominating the court with three steals in the first half and nine steals overall.

With the Canes completely out of the ACC Coastal race, North Carolina now only contends with Pittsburgh (7-3, 5-1) for the Coastal divisional title.

Instead, it was a sour performance. “With those guys”, Williams said, “you can do anything”. As far as Dr. Cook’s prognosis goes, there’s no doubt he will be on the field for a game that will go a long way in determining the Big Ten East champ.

Williams was a big recruit of the last regime, the Butch Davis one.

Earlier, the Tar Heels took advantage of a turnover on a bad Miami snap to set up their first touchdown, taking possession at the Hurricanes 36.

Bright spots: Joe Yearby bounced outside and ran hard, gaining 74 yards on 13 carries.

North Carolina needed to go only 49 yards for its second touchdown after a short Miami punt.

THE KICKER: Miami’s Michael Badgley came into this weekend’s slate of games as the leader among all FBS kickers in the nation with 19 field goals made.

Temple hit just 1 of 8 foul shots in the second half. Oddsmakers say they have very little shot, prompting quarterback Brad Kaaya to point out that the Hurricanes were in that exact position two weeks ago at Duke – where they won on an eight-lateral kickoff return for a final-play touchdown. Maybe the Tar Heels relaxed after a solid win over Temple to start the season. This is only the eighth time in program history that North Carolina finished unbeaten at home for a season….

Britt matched his career high with 17 points and the Tar Heels gradually pulled away in the second half to beat Fairfield 92-65 on Sunday.
