The game is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on the CBS Sports Network. The 17th-ranked Tar Heels (8-1, 5-0) can clinch the Coastal Division title and their first berth in the ACC championship game with a win over the Hurricanes (6-3, 3-2) and a Duke victory over Pittsburgh.

He’d been heavily recruited by his hometown Gamecocks, but in the end, it may have been his heart that won him over: Woods has repeatedly said he grew up as a North Carolina fan.
Since its 17-13 season-opening loss to SC, UNC has scored 26 or more points in every game this year – including hanging 66 on rival Duke last week.
QB Marquise Williams has made a joke of harassing Hood after short gains. Williams had a career day, throwing for 494 yards and four touchdowns, as well as running in a touchdown. “Of course Marcus Paige has a broken bone in his hand, but they won’t skip too much of a beat”, Dunphy said. “… It was weird, and you just feel so bad that you’re not out there with your guys”. That’s why you embrace these types of challenges. Keshaun Taylor of Mars Hill leads the conference in receiving yards (114.8 per game) and touchdown catches (10).
Sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya left the Clemson game with a concussion. The Tar Heels will develop a depth in their backcourt that they hope will serve them well later this season, and Paige hopes he’ll learn from his new vantage point on the bench this month. “They get explosive plays all over the place…they’ve got a lot of good players to spread the ball around to”. The UNC secondary will have to do its best to force mistakes similar to what it did against Duke’s Thomas Sirk.
UM has 18 takeaways this season – 10 interceptions and eight recovered fumbles – which the Canes offense has turned into 47 points. While there are other ACC teams that have tougher conference schedules, there’s not another team (outside of maybe UVA) in the ACC that will have as many tough non-conference battles as the Tar Heels.
Miami’s defensive backfield will be welcoming the return of junior cornerback Artie Burns this week.
The Tar Heels are fortunate in that nine of their top ten scorers from last year’s team are back for this season, unlike Kentucky who saw most of their squad jump to the National Basketball Association.
“He’s in, he’s in. We can throw Austin Proehl out there behind Switz and he can make plays for us…it’s just you can only get so many of them out on the field”. “He’s in and he’s ready to go”. “And anything less than that will be a disappointment for us, because we know we have a lot of pieces and we have the right pieces to be able to make a long run”. “We told him that we have his back”. Jaylen Bond had two points on 1-of-8 shooting to go along with eight rebounds, while starting center Devontae Watson picked up three fouls in seven first-half minutes and never saw the court again.
“Everything has to be sharper. People I don’t know, teachers, professors, yeah, it’s kind of annoying but it’s kind of expected when you’re walking around with stuff all over your hand at the very beginning of basketball season”. “Because we showed that we can do it – even while (Paige) is out right now”. In addition, the Tar Heels have secured a commitment from a five-star guard in the class of 2017, Jalek Felton.

“Do your job”, Elder said. While on defense, he got his fingers stuck in the jersey of freshman Luke Maye and had them yanked hard as Maye made a cut.
