Week 5: at Miami

The Miami Hurricanes made dramatic improvements under Mark Richt, going 7-1 in the ACC and winning the Coastal Division. However, the Hurricanes were outmatched against the Tigers in the ACC Championship Game will be looking to prove that game was only a fluke.

However, for the Tar Heels a win over the Hurricanes, in Miami, will go along way to adding legitimacy to a potential run at the division. This certainly isn’t a long shot as the Tar Heels kept the game close losing only 24-19 last season.
