RALEIGH, N.C. — The Miami Hurricanes showed they can win in a shootout when their defense isn’t having its best night, reversing the fashion of UM’s previous two victories against Pittsburgh and Virginia with the defense picking up the offense at times.
Giving up 41 points is never the route a Manny Diaz-led team wants to take, but the important thing is the Hurricanes came away with another key conference win behind quarterback D’Eriq King’s 535 total yards and five touchdown passes.
Miami improved to 5-1 in the 2020 season’s 10-game ACC schedule and 6-1 overall as Diaz got his first win as head coach coming off a bye (1-4).
