UNC vs. Miami: X-Factor

When looking at the averages, the North Carolina Tar Heels hold an advantage on offense while Miami retains a sizeable advantage on defense.

No surprises there.

But when you dig into the numbers, especially when Miami’s last game is put under the microscope, it becomes much more interesting.

The Carolina defense has allowed an average of 257 yards per game through the air this season.

Miami has allowed 251 passing yards per game.

The problems in the Hurricanes’ secondary were in full display a week and a half ago against Middle Tennessee State.
