UNC vs. Miami: Preview, prediction and more

To say Saturday’s game between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Miami Hurricanes is a big one, is an understatement.

There’s a lot on the line in Coral Gables, with both teams trailing the Virginia Tech Hokies in the standings.

Both teams are coming off a loss, their first in conference play, and desperately need a win.

The Tar Heels beat the Hurricanes in their meeting in 2015, a convincing 59-21 win in Chapel Hill towards the end of the season. But this is a different Miami team and an improved one.
