With the Miami Hurricanes set to play North Carolina (3-3, 2-3 ACC) on Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C. for the first time since last season’s embarrassing defeat, coach Manny Diaz ensured the sting from last year’s blowout loss to the Tar Heels was still fresh on the players’ minds.
Before UM’s practice ended and players spoke with reporters on Tuesday afternoon, the Hurricanes watched the end of their 62-26 loss to UNC from last December that effectively ended their chances of making an appearance in a New Year’s Six bowl game and started a five-game losing streak to FBS teams that’s stretched into this season.
