CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—Tez Walker exploded for three receiving touchdowns and Omarion Hampton ran for 197 yards and a score as 12th-ranked North Carolina raced past No. 25 Miami, 41-31, on a wet Saturday night at Kenan Stadium.
After trailing, 17-14, at halftime, UNC scored the first 24 points of the second half to build a lead that withstood a pair of late Hurricane scoring drives.
In his second game after being reinstated by the NCAA following an eligibility dispute, Walker snagged an early, 18-yard touchdown toss from Drake Maye for a 7-0 lead, then caught two more scoring passes in the third quarter as Carolina began to put the game out of reach.
