UNC drove the ball easily down field on its first drive and scored on a field goal. Junior quarterback Nathan Elliott was 3-6 for 20 yards passing. Sophomore running back Michael Carter, who is in his second game back since returning from a hand injury, had two rushes for 52 yards. UNC’s drive stalled at the five-yard line.

Hurricanes running back Travis Homer ran the ball 56 yards down field to the four-yard line to set up an easy score for Miami on the next play. The Hurricanes take the lead 7-3 in the first quarter.
