Ahead of arguably the biggest game at Kenan Stadium in quite some time, here are 5 predictions for the UNC football program’s clash with Miami.
The UNC football program is preparing for its biggest test so far this season, as they host No. 25-ranked Miami in a crucial ACC contest on Saturday night in Chapel Hill.
It doesn’t need to be said, but we will say it anyway: the stakes are very high for both programs.
Mack Brown and the Tar Heels come in with a 5-0 record, the first time the program has accomplished the feat since 1997. Coming off a dominant performance against Syracuse, the UNC football program will look to make its case for an ACC title berth and potential College Football Playoff seed even stronger.
After a 4-0 start to the season, Miami was stunned by Georgia Tech last Saturday night. A decision to run the ball instead of taking a knee proved to be costly, as the Yellow Jackets scored a last-second touchdown to secure the upset victory.
Although Miami’s recent loss took some of the hype out of this game, don’t let that fool you: this is a HUGE game not only in the ACC, but in the country as well.
Ahead of the UNC football program’s clash with top-25 power Miami, here are five predictions of what to expect in this contest.
