The 'Canes looked to build another winning streak by tooling up on Charlotte, a team they beat twice last season. Heavily favored Miami needed to get some home mojo back after last week's loss to Northeastern.
The 'Canes came out of the gates screaming and immediately clobbered the Mark Price-led Charlotte 49ers. There wasn't much doubt or drama in this one, aside from Shelden McClellan (hip injury missed previous practice) not starting and Angel Rodriguez leaving and returning quickly from a minor wrist injury.
The 'Canes used a balanced offensive attack to amass a commanding 46-21 halftime lead.
