UNC Football: Carolina improves to 5-1 after late-game interception seals win over Miami

Not all games are going to be easy going, and today’s UNC game against Miami was certainly not that. The final result seemed very much in doubt right until a timely interception by DeAndre Boykins gave the Tar Heels a 27-24 win.

Drake Maye looked a little more mortal against the Hurricanes, especially when he was sacked five times and threw two picks. He did throw for 309 yards in the winning effort, but it certainly wasn’t his most polished performance. Maye did find Josh Downs for an absolutely incredible touchdown while falling backwards. Downs put a couple nifty moves on the defenders to get in for the score.
