No. 10 Miami was embarrassed, allowing the most yards of total offense it ever has in a 62-26 rout at the hands of No. 17 North Carolina on Saturday evening at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Tar Heels (8-3, 7-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) went for 778 total yards from scrimmage, topping the previous record by a UM opponent, 670 by UCLA in 1998. The 554 rushing yards Miami surrendered is also a single-game mark.
The demoralizing defeat for the Hurricanes (8-2, 7-2) essentially shuts down the possibility of playing in one of college football’s New Year’s Six bowl games.
