Miami vs. North Carolina Full Game | 2021 ACC Football

the head coach of the tar heels at 70 years of age from cookeville tennessee now at carolina in his second stint 18 and 13. 87 wins at carolina 262 in his career and that's second most among active division one coaches trailing only nick saban and away we go from chapel hill there'll be no return by emery simmons and here comes the junior from indian trail north carolina and the preseason player of the year in the acc and that's sam howell roddy yeah and i think sam howell over the course of this season obviously has not had the type of year that he did a year ago some of that i think has to do with the fact that he's trying to compensate for a lot of what the around him is missing the one thing he has done extremely well this year and much better than a year ago is run the football he's been a big time threat on the ground tennessee transferred ty chandler with him in the backfield garrett walston the tight end three receivers for howl and that's the explosive downs in motion chandler off the right side and ty chandler almost five on first down before tyreke stevenson to stop alex so second down in five after the run by chandler starts the ball game [Music] howell to throw for the first time downs the catch and hit right away shy of the first down big lick by takori couch alex let's check with you so to be third and short after a run by chandler and a throw to downs and the first third down as the sun starts to peek in from behind the rain clouds uh-oh miami with pressure give to chandler he will fall across the 35. kane's decided to tighten it up in the front there ronnie yeah they certainly did expecting run on third and short a lot of guys around the line of scrimmage but north carolina that offensive line able to create just enough of a crease for ty chandler to get the first down sam howell checks to the near side and that's phil longo the offensive coordinator signaling in the plays that's kamari morales the tight end in motion first and ten quick throw on the slam padded in the air looking for justin olson and to corey couch stuck a hand in to create the deflection it's a great break by takori couch he almost had the interception there but on the other side you're seeing justin olson getting the start at that left receiver yeah cory couch very well could have had an interception probably a pretty good defensive play by justin olsen so second down snap to hal on the perimeter here's downs with blockers josh downs across the 40. and they'll spot it at the 42. tackle made by marie carter the senior from riviera beach making his 21st career start today from manny diaz's club well look you you look at josh downes and he is a guy that's going to touch the ball today guy that 49 catches already through the season through these six games the ball is going to find 11. and that's going to be the big test for miami tackling an open space against josh downs so now third down for carolina ford to the first opening possession of the ball game powell from the pocket flushed out hand run and will first down and a slide shy of midfield for sam howell he's carolina's second leading rusher but he trails todd chandler by less than 100 yards on the season well the thing that he does so well this year in particular is when he moves up in the pocket and can take off straight ahead he is incredibly dangerous not only that when he gets to the open field hard to tackle he's sort of a big-bodied guy not not super large but thick when he gets out in the open field a little bit of speed first down in 10. here's the give and chandler picks bobs weaves open field todd chandler inside the 15. touchdown carolina [Music] uh wes miami fans may be having ptsd from what happened last year ty chandler gets the handoff a missed tackle by two miami defenders and it looks a lot like what those running backs from north carolina did a year ago javonte williams and michael carter had a field day in this game point after is good by atkins seven plays 75 yards 303 time of the drive ty chandler has all right here we go miller in motion wait is that a baby on the field it looks a little offensive now it's tyler van dyke's turn and there'll be no return by miami so first and ten for van dyke and the canes off their 25 but ronnie back to the run here by chandler yeah when you when you see this run you're going to see the safety down to the bottom of your screen in the corner bubba bouldin into cory couch both have a shot at ty chandler in the hole he slips inside of both of those guys and then just outruns the backside safety to the end zone has a shot swipes at legs can't make the tackle it's a great run by ty chandler great job having something for the unblocked defender but if you're in miami you got two guys there to make a shot that that tackle has to be made couldn't have asked for a better start alex by todd chandler yeah well when i had a chance to catch up with ty chandler he said he saw what the running backs did last year and that was a big reason why he wanted to come here there's a throw off line on the first snap for keyshawn smith off the hand of tyler van dyke i can see where javonte williams and michael carter would inspire people to come to chapel hill and run the rock not only that everywhere phil longo's been they've been able to run the football but miami on the first play with a little bit of a little bit of trickery a flea flicker tyler van dyke just missed the throw pistol set for van dyke paris left side not a lot there carolina rallying to the ball miles murphy the stop now remember ronnie told you about this matchup that we're presented here today with rava hasik 51 the nose tackle for carolina and jakai clark the center making his first start on the road there's big vahasek out of mchenry illinois fun to visit with yesterday by the way and then clark there's the pivot young man from grayson high school in loganville georgia third and full nine van dyke cuts it loose and complete thrown slightly behind the intended receiver keyshawn smith and miami's done in three snaps on their opening drive yeah they tried the trick play to start you don't get much off the run on second down and then on that one again i think tyler van dyke just missed the throw not sure if it got tipped or something it came out of his hand just flat under throws it and miami has to pawn fourth best punt returner in the acc 10th nationally is josh downs they have to start asking the question what he doesn't do here is lou headley the aussie serious candidate for the ray guy award by the way second in the acc 19th nationally he is fourth in the country in net and we got a penalty as headley drills it i think delay on miami kane's moving people around here i'm not sure why you take the time out there honestly was i'm not either we'll take the break with them though 7-0 carolina early in chapel hill 7-0 north carolina in chapel hill almost four minutes gone first period with alex chapel roddy jones west durham game one of our acc network doubleheader drive a moment ago for carolina pretty simplistic roddy yeah it was it started with the run with ty chandler ironically ended that way too but sam howell gets going running the football as well something that he's done really well this year ty chandler makes a couple guys miss goes 51 yards to the end zone and that's what this north carolina offense wants to be at its best drive recap presented by marathon so the miami time out after the canes go three and out howell will wait as here is lou headley to punt it again tar heels came within a whisker and forced maybe one off the side of the foot by headley standards not a great punt but it's still into tar heel territory around the 40-yard line wes we've seen a possession for each team and already the the excitement the energy seems to be on the north carolina side and maybe that's because of the way the first two possessions have gone but this miami defense you need a stop on this one i'm not saying like the games on the line are in the bounds but just from a confidence standpoint the way this game went last year the loss that they took 16 days ago to virginia and getting a stop here would help them a lot channeler the back in motion carolina sends antoine green it's intercepted there's the play jafari harvey touchdown miami you said they needed to stop roddy that's that's the enhanced stop right there not only do you get the stop but you put the ball in the end zone it's like offense you guys take a break what a play by jafari harvard that is i mean this is as good a play as of a defensive end as you'll see bats the ball in the air and is able to pick it off you could tell from the way he came off he read sam howell's eyes it's just an easy bubble that sam howell's trying to throw but jafari harvey puts it off and takes it for a touchdown by the way wes by the way this is a turnover chain and touchdown ring celebration right here you get both of them you go pick six wow extra point by borealic borgalas is good another look at the interception the sixth of the year for sam howell just look at how athletic 12 on the left side of your screen defeats the cut hits the ball up in the air picks it off and takes it for six the key on that play is getting the cut you try and get the defensive ends hands down harvey though able to bounce up and then catch the football take it for six what a turn of events for miami an excellent play on the defensive side of the football with him touchdown right yet take the touchdown range too get the touchdown rings to put the touchdown rings on all the accessories well seven seven are score and now the food lion food for thought maybe keys to the game roddy huh oh man well look miami needs to create explosive plays and turnovers and they did that right there and the second they tackle the football which they didn't do on the previous drive and then look when when north carolina it's going to come down to line play on both sides the play on the line of the offensive and defensive line are going to be huge and then defensively for north carolina they got to talk the communication on the back end has let them down time and time again they've had a busted coverage and basically every game the last three times they've taken the field so they've got to communicate on defense and make sure they don't bust those coverages and after a 10-nothing lead last week and a 10-point loss they had a seven-nothing lead a three-and-out thought they were getting the ball back they did and on the first play miami ties it on the pick six and now we go back even again no return of the kick tar heels will go from the 25 with their third possession so that was the defensive end because that guy was a big man touchdown he's not that big but he's a defensive lineman i think i'm going to call that a big man touchdown you know what i think that's really more for maclean and ej and jordan to yeah they're gonna have to weigh in maybe maybe after dark they'll weigh in but i'm gonna i'm gonna say 252 pounds is what harvey's listed as i'm going to say that's a big man let's say that's a maclean discussion it's his vote he's singular on that wouldn't you it's got to be a group decision collective effort here's howl from the gun let's see how the quarterback of the tar heels responds on the corner chandler nicely done for nine yards on first down by todd chandler running behind jordan tucker and again two broken tackles on that play misses one in the backfield makes a corner miss to get a couple extra yards up the sideline miss tackles miami statistically is the worst tackling team in the country and it is shown early on second down and one clap of the hands here's howell tries to keep it right side he will pick up the first down alex the the focus and the intensity of that focus on sam howell man you got to be strong emotionally and mentally to fight through what he's going through i think yeah no doubt about that when i was talking with sam howell about facing adversity not just with this team but for him personally and he said it's early in the season early in his career he struggled with it so he tries not to get too caught up in the highs and lows because it keeps you from staying locked in here's a quick throw on the perimeter chandler has been a major piece of this early and that's another first down out to the 47-yard line before steed made the tackle after a throw of 10 yards that's the play that they were trying to go to on the pick six just trying to get ty chandler out in space with a couple blockers out front you can see north carolina is going to test miami's ability to tackle in space with ty chandler with josh downs and with sam howell over and over and over we'll see if this hurricane's defense can do it [Music] quick throw downs made one miss and will fight inside the 45 toward another first down before williams finally falls on top of him and it's going to be just shy of the first josh downs and jordan addison who's also playing this afternoon of pittsburgh those two guys roddy are starting to separate themselves in the acc dontavius wick certainly on the list too at virginia yeah well josh downs has been fantastic and every time he catches the football miami fans should hold their breath because of his ability to make you miss the short area quickness and then the long speed that he has every time he touches the ball it is get your popcorn ready dj jones sophomorianna running back to spell chandler and miami rallies to the football nicely that time deandre johnson the transfer of defensive end from tennessee was the first guy to get to dj jones there is downs i don't know what stat i like better the at least eight catches in every game or at least one touchdown in every game i think it has to be the touchdowns right i mean you're performing like that it's it's uh he has been incredible and he's done it in different ways he's done it deep passes the diving catch against virginia he's caught passes in the flat and taking it for touchdowns powell on third and two carolina to throw slam you know who breaking free josh downs touchdown [Music] was that to get your popcorn ready is that what you were talking about absolutely and look the the his ability to change speeds is what makes him special change of direction change of speed it's a little wide receiver angle route once he catches it and has a seam it's game over 45 yards roddy [Music] just just watch this route coming off the line of scrimmage pauses a little bit comes back in catches the football splits the defense and ends up in the end zones josh of the year and downes already putting an afternoon together and so is sam howell who's now thrown another touchdown in his 32nd career game there will be no return by miami keynes will schedule uh scrimmage it on schedule from the 25 roddy back to the touchdown catch yeah you're going to see a punch concept to the top and watch downs he's on the inside he's just going to hesitate a little step out gets the defender to step outside and then it's just not even fair once he gets the ball in his hands running away from that miami secondary let's take another look at it from the other side and watch sam howell's delivery he's got a clean pocket to throw from which is all he needs both of these guys just a little bit of space girvin hall drew the drew the assignment of covering downs on that one and look you got to bracket him you got to have a safety over the top somebody underneath because number 11 is going to be able to win all day on those so howl to downs 14-7 carolina back in front cameron harris gets the start on the drive and runs up into timon fox's tackle see what fox makes his 42nd start today for mac brown grad student from lawrenceville georgia who in his last two games has had seven tackles a sack and a tackle for loss and a half on that meanwhile tyler van dyke's got to sort it out here gives to harris big collision in the backfield flag goes down as harris is able to grind out to the 28 before giovanni biggers is involved personal foul illegal hands to the face defense number eight 15-yard penalty from the end of the run first down miles murphy gives miami a fresh set of downs yeah miles murphy's the one that almost blew this play up in the backfield looks like he took dj skate for a ride there but ends up he had his hands in the face of skate as he pushed him back into the mesh and bringing the monitor out previous play is under further review okay roddy huh dwayne hayt is the referee and he is over with peter voss now on the headset trying to figure out what this is for i mean there's a little bit of a dip of the head at the end without giovanni bigger so maybe they're looking at targeting and and the the fact that that uh miami was going so fast that the replay official likely wanted to stop this this was going to be an interesting one so so the the question with targeting obviously you have the two different types is he a defenseless player the answer to that is no when you're a runner so it has to be an attack with the crown of the helmet and then an indicator and it doesn't matter where he gets it does not matter where the runner gets hit if you attack with the crown of the helmet that is targeting and i think they may get biggers here he lowers the helmet now there isn't the launch so the question is does it clear for an indicator but he clearly lowers his head and strikes with the crown of this helmet and this is the part of targeting that's there to to protect the defender from himself to keep your head up see what you hit okay because you lower your head like that and it is a safety issue because you know the person at home is saying wait a second he doesn't hit the other guy's helmet he hits his shoulder right and it's about protecting both sides this one is about protecting the defender from himself and so i you know i think this is 50 50 but based on whether or not they feel like there's an indicator there right but i can see it both ways i can see them saying that that hey there there is the indicator because of the lowering of the head clearly strikes with the crown of the helmet if you were to pin my feet down i would say this probably goes the way of targeting but right and that's like 51-49 for me so dwayne hate will tell us about it after further review there is no foul for targeting by number 27 he may remain in the game first down all right there you go so so i like i like that call because what giovanni biggers did is a part of football now you again want to protect him from himself sure but because he hits the shoulder i'm guessing there's no indicator involved in that there's no launch there's no attack and so he gets to remain in the game that's how it should work you know yeah ball at the 43. [Applause] remember the penalty on uh murphy set up that play here's the throw on the perimeter miami making the move and this is keyshawn smith who's been active early you know they've kind of been waiting on smith the young freshman from san diego a covert freshman i should say a year ago played in eight games had a couple of catches that's a 13-yard play for the gains he had 13 catches coming into today here's a toss harris trying to get to the perimeter and take it out of the air by trey morrison i like the hurdle more than i do the hit i mean as a running back you know oh yeah you know you're going to take the hit but watch the hurdle here's athletic play as a running back goes up over the top i know just going to take that's fine you take hits every play it's exciting for trey morrison because you hit a guy out of the air but look he's still hurdled man second down they got a free play sure flags down van dyke got to sail it out of bounds van dyke was thinking about the backyard in connecticut on that rollout that's what you're coached to do the line doesn't move you roll out throw the ball down the field there are two fouls on the play both by the defense offside defense number eight that penalties decline holding defense number 20 10 yard penalty automatic first down saw the sophomore tony grimes [Applause] that was here on the boundary side [Applause] so that'll move him into the carolina 33 and a first down van dyke play fake to harris plenty of time now gonna cut it loose and threw it out of the back of the end zone it looked like smith was the intended receiver and a flag has come down again personal foul roughing the passer defense number 25 15-yard penalty first down mac brown is not happy at all with any of this it's on cayman rucker let's take a look at it [Applause] so van dyke play action as he has all the time in the world that's not that's not roughing the password no it's not roughing the passer at all he didn't he doesn't go high he doesn't hit him tyler i mean he's trying to slow up what's he supposed to do like dive and roll out of the way but come on first and 10 to the 18 that's mallory the tight end in motion quick hitter trying to get it to harris tar heels rally jeremiah gimmel the veteran linebacker makes the stop three huge penalties on this drive for miami benefiting miami has kept this drive going the hands to the face which was a good call the holding good call that roughing the passer that's a brutal call mac brown should be upset about that but the penalties are really what's kept this miami drive going i can't remember more than a handful of positive plays for miami on this drive knight has come in the rooster jalen knighton for the first time he'll try and get to the edge and he'll be stopped back near the 18-yard line tomorrow fox and roddy's guy ray bahasik he sets up a third and long miami in a situation where they have to respond this miami defense has struggled stopping north carolina on offense tell you what when they've gotten down in this area the corner route to the slot has been a big play that he's felt comfortable with but it looks like you're gonna get one-on-one to the bottom north carolina's showing pressure five minutes in change now to play in this first quarter van dyke pressure coming he'll be sacked put another one down for taman box [Applause] [Music] [Applause] carolina has struggled at times getting pressure on the quarterback but tomorrow fox just comes scot-free i mean miami slides the protection and either puts a run there's either a bust on the left guard or you're putting a running back on a defensive lineman either way it's bad ball and tyler van dyke is worse for the wear because of it 44 yard try for borigalas of the year 55 he missed from 33 to end the virginia game kick away and it is good so andres borrogalis bangs it home to make it 14-10 with four minutes to go in this first quarter of play [Applause] and manny diaz excited about where his team is jay bateman it's kind of self-inflicted to set up the drive roddy those penalties so let's let's go back to the sack because on this on the left side you've got the entire offensive line sliding to the right and then what i think typically happens there is the tackle slides as well and it's the tackle that ends up on the guy coming straight up the middle and the running back goes out to block the defensive end putting a running back on a defensive lineman that's lined up in that position is just a really hard block and a big ask especially when you've got jalen knighton in the backfield so again like we're not in the huddle we don't see what's going we don't hear what's going on from an overall standpoint in terms of the play call but it's a tough assignment if that's the call for jalen knight right so miami who would have preferred a touchdown settles for the field goal because carolina's had it three times and twice they've exploded to the end zone one on a chandler run another on a touchdown pass from howell to downs there'll be no return here by conley and the tar heels will scrimmage off their 25-yard line [Music] just getting started on acc network tonight good crowd expected at alumni stadium chestnut hill a little fall crisp in the air roddy number 22 nc state and boston college a win by the wolf pack would make them 5-1 for the second time the other time being 2018 boston college has lost 21 straight to associated press ranked teams do you remember their last win see the red bandanna game against what usc or southern california you are exactly right dj jones the running back for howell quick throw downs on the perimeter trying to shake spin and a really good play in the miami secondary about james williams james williams is a true freshman who has is dropping more talent on the ground as he walks than than most guys in this league will ever have that's a great tackle in the open field got to see him on the field pregame and he is he's massive wes he looks like an outside linebacker look he's going to touch the hash to the sideline with those arms too he was number 32 in the espn 300 and air males won over downs that time it was closer to kareem kitchens another young guy in that miami secondary that's gonna be a theme we're gonna see a lot of young guys as north carolina's deciding to go tempo this is a huge stop for miami if you're looking for josh downs he's second from the bottom see number 11 looking towards the sideline that's garrett walsh in the tight end in the slot to the top [Applause] miami's running girvin hall back over to downes at the bottom looks like they're going to go man-to-man to get the match-up that they want 10 on the play clock for howell [Applause] cuts and lose and off the hands of the intended receiver dj jones [Applause] oh and joan catches it roddy oh he may hit him he may hit his head on the goalpost west i mean full head of steam there is nobody there bubba bolden is the only one that has a shot and he's moving the opposite direction of where of where dj jones would have been running that ball just a little too hot sam howell not his best possession a couple of errant throws on that one and a good stop for miami on defense here is the freshman jacoby george waiting to take the punt from ben kiernan the young man from dublin ireland karen by the way 44-yard average he hangs this one high along the hash mark george wants to play off the 25 steps through two three and knocked out of bounds at the 37 yard line so 49-yard punt 12-yard return and miami gonna get a crack of it now with van dijk here well a moment ago earlier in this first quarter the university of north carolina honored one of their longtime staffers the director of keenan stadium james sperling and every program roddy has a james sperling right i mean it's amazing this guy's been a fixture in chapel hill for better than 50 years in an association with the university and earlier this week director of athletics bubba cunningham and the athletics board decided to name the west concourse here at keenan stadium after james sperling our congratulations to james sperle what an honor yep throw on the perimeter keyshawn smith pulled down in space by conley i tell you what you flip on the film and you watch teams throw smoke screens or bubble screens you throw them to number zero side and they're not going very far right he has been all over it plays those as well as anybody in the conference at the point of attack and you saw it there yep jaylen knight back in the ball game for second and eleven carolina by four van dyke quick throw boundary side harley stepping out of bounds with mike harley's 148th career catch he has been in miami a while [Music] certainly has he's a guy that's really grown over his career and this is a a big third down for miami all of them are big when you're up against an offense like carolina but they go empty they're trying to give tyler van dyke a little bit better read they outnumber carolina down to the bottom of your screen with four players down carolina's only got three jeremiah gimbal coming out now there's a throw and offline for smith [Applause] so the canes will have to punt only 12 yards of offense for miami 151 for carolina and i don't i don't love that call on fourth down you're going one-on-one to the boundary with your freshman receiver i know he's talented but getting off press coverage for a young player and making that play it's a tough play to make i'd love to see them gone down to the bottom of the screen where they had more players in miami there's the punt from headley and it's a good one downfield but it drifted on the far sideline we'll see where they spot it 19-yard line so lou headley bangs one inside the 20 and tar heels take over with under two minutes to go you know this offensive start for miami has felt a lot like their last game against virginia and in that game the defense really kept him in there until the offense got going it's a much tougher task against this north carolina offense when they're playing well i mean virginia can put up points and scores they did a decent job of keeping them in the game it's going to be imperative today too it looks like chandler back in the ball game is the running back with howell that's lost in the tight end in motion procedure on carolina it looks as if key ron johnson the center might have flinched here start offense offensive line except the center five yard penalty first down thank you ron johnson forgot the snap count everybody but you big fella yeah yeah everybody except kiron moved but really it was on kiron because he didn't snap it it's been interesting with all the talk about emory simmons chaffey brown coming into the year justin olson has gotten the majority of the snaps opposite antoine green here is sam howell trying to break free again a flag is thrown and william slings him to the deck [Applause] at the 21. let's see here james williams is a beast personal foul illegal hands to the face defense number 17 15-yard penalty from the end of the run first down wayman steed the will linebacker you're gonna see 17 coming right up the middle as he's trying to get off yeah the face there but tim you got to slide to him get down man i mean this is a guy that's very important to this team right now slide but instead it's james williams who ropes him around and around the shoulders we'll call it the shoulders and throws them down right you've got a slide he's got a slide same slide powell to downs again on the perimeter oh nice open field tackle again cameron kitchens has played that well a couple times already in this first half yeah the freshmen have played the best in the secondary for miami so far james williams been all over the place cameron kitchens and that's why you see them standing next to each other in the secondary there's been a there was a lot of talk by manny diaz about playing some of these younger guys you see just closing the gap throwing down downs playing the younger guys because they are more talented they may make some mistakes but you've seen the talent second down nine powell plus from the pocket to his right makes a move and will get the first down there's your slide right foremost this line been the the line up front does a decent job of handling the stunt but he sees the open field and he gets positive gain it's an excellent job by samhain miami again trying to pressure carolina chandler fighting through on the run we'll pick up nine for sure to the miami 46 yard line playing tough times sorry west had a tough time playing that concept a year ago many diaz told us look we didn't play counter well last year and they were a great counter team we didn't play outside zombo they were a great outside zone team well that was counter and there was a ton of space in front of todd chandler this is the final play of the period roddy interesting 15 minutes to start here in chapel hill huh very fascinating it's been a little sloppy a little explosive seen some mistakes that's kind of what we expected yep the rain stopped about 15 minutes before kickoff carolina's reigned a big play jafari harvey's had one for miami second quarter is next presented by subway this is acc football tar heels with a four-point lead on miami and we got a procedure call to start the quarter i believe let's see phil longo has already come off the tar heel bench with wide receivers coach lonnie galloway because i think longo carolina was ready to snap it and then something happened look at miami making a change here there is no foul on the play for illegal motion second down phil longo let's roll let's roll yeah we were trying to roll and they dropped a fight right i mean it slows down the operation yeah same motion [Music] play fake pressure coming in trouble evades the rush gets a block first down to the 34 goes sam howell that play is completely made by sam howell he had antoine greene down the field if he had time to throw it but the pressure gets to him quickly and he's got a run and what a fantastic run by sam howell i mean his ability to escape and get out after the play fake the pressure's all over him jared hunt harrison hunt gets to him and then once he gets in the open field shows how dangerous he's become keandre smith the hit at the 34. todd chandler and he'll run to james williams for a gain of four second down and six coming up the second quarter well it's not been carolina's best roddy out scored 69 to 30 in quarter two this year wow and look that's that's sort of the fast start part of it maintaining those fast starts a lot of that's going to be keeping this defensive line off of sam howell [Applause] that's downs in motion chandler trying to slide to the perimeter boy miami handled that well smith a big play to limit todd chandler third down is next north carolina has been a really good third to medium team converting over 70 percent of their third and and four to six during the during the year this is a place they love to go to josh downs carolina's already got 116 yards of rushing 51 on one papa that's true yep you're right third down here in five josh downs in the back of the stack to the bottom here's owl downs on the slab first down to the 20. tackled by kitchens who's shaking up on the play roddy 11 makes it look really really easy for injury we'll take a break as they tend to kitchens who is shaken up making the tackle of downs first and ten conversion look to the bottom of your screen josh downs just eases off the line of scrimmage and then when he knows and feels sam howell is ready to throw the ball makes the break it's pitch and catch it's easy first down for north carolina tar heels set up at the 20. leading by four early period two at keenan stadium and dj jones can't get started on the run well done by weymon steed the linebacker to get his arms around jones for just a yard roddy how much of that do you think in phil longo's book is to set up something else the layer kind of that delay run you know you come back and then you'll go wider in some cases right yeah a lot of a lot of what they do uh sort of gives you the option to go in go out and it sets up other stuff here's howell he's keeping it this time inside the 15. kept his feet inside the 10 rolls to a first and goal at the miami six garrett walston helping out the tight end of course quarterback in the run game yeah and and i think i think sam howell expected them to tackle him and didn't expect to get through that but watch this you get counter action to one side he pulls it so that miami can't play it on the back side and then just guys trying to knock sam howell over doesn't secure it he could have scored that he had kind of expected to come through it yeah it was absorbing the hit corey flag banged into it but didn't knock him over here's chandler on the first and goal play for a yard [Applause] bubba bolden stuck his nose into the business at the safety spot for miami there's a look at the junior from vegas a year ago a semi-finalist for the thorpe award comes in with 34 tackles roddy but that called his name much at all here in this first half yeah and he's he's now part of that rotation at safety uh so that they can get guys like cameron kitchens more reps james williams is really the one that doesn't come off the field very much here's howell second and goal from the six four minutes gone period two [Applause] powell up downs came back to it rather than continuing to the corner incomplete yeah it's just two guys not being on the same page downs reads that he doesn't have he doesn't have the defender stacked so watch this downs is reading that i don't quite have it going out so i'm going to come back in sam howell read that as hey you got to step on girvin hall so keep going just quarterback receiver not being on the same page so third and goal what do you like here josh downs he's in the slot to the top on the hash he's got one on one you're likely going there miami moved i believe jonathan ford prior to the ball being snapped offside defense number 96 with contact half the distance to the goal third down it's the with contact part that makes you blow it dead 96 on the right side of your screen [Music] if you care howl through right that was where antoine greene was by the way [Applause] two tights to the bottom of the screen powell second catch of the year is a touchdown some point today we will likely call the names of four north carolina tight ends copenhagen you said his second catch of the season the least likely to get in the end zone of those three but executes extremely well in the play action slips onto the flight and catch the touchdown pass 13 plays 81 yards 604 at the top of the well north carolina's now got a two touchdown advantage on miami or 11 point advantage on miami after their second touchdown in the last three drives and a moment ago one of the great tar heel offensive linemen of all time harris barton honored here on campus by the national football foundation and college hall of fame he'll be formally inducted in december out in las vegas he joins a list of tar heel legends who have received the honor from the national football foundation you see the first team all-american 1986 acc's most outstanding lineman don't forget the super bowl championships with joe montana and the 49er teams as well in the resume of harris martin and he is downstairs with alex chapel thanks wes and roddy and harris thank you so much for your time congratulations what a special day and what an honor to be inducted into the college football hall of fame how do you put it into words you don't you know you just you just i'm humbled and blessed and uh thank god i got a chance to have my family here to watch it and my wife kids and all my high school buddies my college buddies it's just it's just an amazing experience really is when you think about your playing career here in what ways did that set just such a strong foundation for the incredible career you had in san francisco well when i came here this was known as an offensive line school had a lot of great offensive linemen that had come here had a great coach in john matzko who taught me how to play the game and it just kind of we had a big passing attack which really set up for my uh for my pro game and you know just had you know had good running attack with ethan horton and and tyrone anthony just everything kind of worked and so when the 49ers were looking for an offensive tackle they picked me because i had great experience here at carolina oh that's great and as you look at these players now with the experience they're getting but this season three and three as they're looking to turn things around what advice would you give to them i just you know my only advice i've watched all the games and it's just they're missing one or two plays somebody's dropping a ball somebody's missing a tackle in crucial situations if they just clean that up this is a team that could go to a ball game and could be you know could have a great back to you all right alex thank you and congratulations to harris barton of dunwoody georgia van dyke flush from the pocket on third and ten looking for the first down and we'll get it roddy you saw him make a big run on third down or fourth down i guess a week ago thursday he does it on third down here yeah he's a guy that is not a quick runner but he is fast when he gets in the open field a lot of room on that right side and he took advantage of it so miami keeps the drive alive and dyke got 11. their first third down conversion of the day you see the discrepancy in total offense here in this first half van dyke on a play and the traffic intercepted cedric gray [Applause] an ill-advised throw by tyler van dyke a really nice play on the back end on the ricochet of catching it by cedric gray looked like van dyke was reading this and the defenders drinked all over his intended receiver and you don't think as a quarterback hey this could get popped up in the air but you're throwing it into traffic there's nowhere to throw that ball and i believe it was tony grimes that ends up making the play and he's all over charleston rambo knocks it down knocks it up actually into the hands of cedric gray big momentum play for north carolina now howell and the tar heels trying to add to the lead right now he's going to take a time out sam howell with four on the play clock we'll take it with him in chapel hill big play well cedric gray the interception the tar heel linebacker who came in with 21 stops in his last three games roddy but sam al gets the ball back on the red zone doorstep he's been on fire it's been mostly him running the football and which has been a big part of his game this year but when he's not running and he's throwing it to 11. and 11 has done a great job so far sam howell's legs have been again the big difference and then another touchdown to his tight end that being sean copenhaver has been on fire first down give dj jones left side slips through for nine almost ten before steve the linebacker cleaned it up from miami the push by this carolina offense has been impressive i mean dj jones is taking that sort of gather step three yards down the field which means the offensive line has moved the defensive line more than three yards down the field jones will stay in the game second here's the gift to jones and i think does he have enough for the first down james williams collided with him wayne heights says yes first and ten carolina can get another first down without a touchdown as carolina gets closer to the end zone miami has to bring more bodies down towards the line of scrimmage to sell out to stop the run downs would come out the tight end wallston roddy i was going to note this before the copenhaber td catch a moment ago 88 morales has been a td machine and tight end for carolina four on the season one last week as well in that game against florida state yep four straight games with a touchdown catch give us to jones and he just kind of moves that stack toward the nine a couple of yards for dj jones who had a career high 11 for 60 against florida state he had had 15 carries in the previous five games but got 11 attempts in last week's loss to the knolls little longer the offensive coordinator also signals the plays in does it from the sideline josh downes going to the top of your screen he's the second man from the top [Applause] and the whistle blows here i think it's on miami well left guard joshua zudu was leading his case to the referee dwayne dwayne height imploring and pointing at the miami defense maybe trying to get a simulation call sam howell was stepping over to litigate on his club's behalf and was asked to step away now he's following a long discussion about what is manny diaz now has come off the miami bench false start offense number 72 five yard penalty second down i think they're roddy i think uh richards is guilty of the penalty but i think what you're talking about is there's something going on between carolina and miami in terms of verbal cadences right well this has been something that we've seen a lot this year in college football defense is clapping right like everybody claps but offensively so much of what you do to signal the snap is clap now and so we've seen a lot of these delay of game penalties for defensive simulation of the snap count a lot and that time carolina's saying they were doing it but the call goes against the target yep [Applause] powell with a bunch look here to the bottom of the screen who's in the pocket now has to buy time back light end zone morales was the guy but broken up on the way there by dj ivey wasn't broken up it was dropped that was a dropped interception and miami had as many diaz had four chances last week at interceptions two of them in the end zone right through the hands of miami receivers one ended up in in dontavian wix's hands yeah but miami needs to execute in those situations you have an opportunity for an interception come down with it so now third down a weird formation no kidding now they put simmons and downs to the left here's downs looking for blockers and a great tackle by williams to square downs at the 12. that's a heck of a play by the freshmen and that's a that's a sign that he's been in his playbook he's been in the game plan because that little fake bubble jailbreak screen is something that north carolina loves to do he gets the read on it and absolutely flies from the secondary it's a it's a fantastic play by the freshman and one of those plays that you only make if you've been in your game so the interception by gray and carolina hoping to take a field goal away from it the try by atkins is good and they flag down so hold on just a second here [Applause] [Music] what a sloppy game so far yeah personal foul roughing the kicker defense number zero half the distance to the goal automatic first down so don't mark it yet tell major why to turn the band down he just sang the man's praises james williams but a little too aggressive it looks like [Applause] oh he gets bumped into him by his teammate yeah that's it's [Applause] it looks worse than it ends up being sure but it certainly is i mean that's that's contact with the kicker it is that's a brutal brutal turn for miami two guys running into each other he falls into the kicker and you get the roughing call first and goal at the six [Applause] oh different dynamic now roddy yep josh downs on the hash to the bottom of the screen owl will keep squeezes up the middle and trapped at the four yard line and keiondre smith the tackle i gotta be honest we've seen howl on almost called runs more than i thought we would here in the first half well it's a big part of their offense now some of that because their inability to protect and helps out the offensive line i don't like the hits he's taking that's the part of it i don't like so down here the goal line i don't love him carrying the football like that unless you got a sure walking 53 yards on seven carries for the tar heel quarterback that's downs in motion chandler easily scores second touchdown of the day for todd chandler penalty of miami comes home to roost with 6 16 to play in the quarter it's the second time you've had a penalty that's um tough for miami come back to haunt them atkins now to make it 28 to 10. and it's the run by ty chandler after the roughing the kicker call that ends up it's five scores he gets his second one of this first half a moment ago to make it 28 to 10. and miami will watch it sail out of the end zone and keynes will scrimmage from their 25-yard line and so far tough afternoon at the office for van dyke don't forget monday night seven o'clock eastern a new documentary we're number one the story of the 1990 atlantic coast conference football season debuts here on acc network it takes you to the november showdown in charlottesville between georgia tech and number one virginia great game and it capsules the rest of what was a transformative year in acc football monday night seven o'clock on acc network streaming live on the espn app scott sisson youngster with the educated toe there's the throw and rambo the intended receiver and tony grimes gonna be flagged for the pass interference on the oklahoma transfer charleston rambo dwayne hayt with the visit coming up here pass interference defense number 20 15-yard penalty first down tony grimes lined up against rambo gets a little handsy at the top of the route doesn't allow him to come back grabs the jersey good call by the officials jalen knight into the backfield now with van dyke miami runs their 18th play of the day and it's knight falling forward for a couple jeremiah kimmel got enough of him to trip him up well the struggle is real for tyler van dyke today roddy yeah it certainly is only 16 yards passing today for this miami team and for tyler van dyken they've tried to take shots mostly on the first plays of drives saw the flea flicker to start the game on the last drive they took a shot early on but not able to find any of those completions [Applause] [Music] [Applause] xavier restrepo to the carolina 39 in a first down west it was a similar type play corner route that got tyler van dyke going against virginia he rips it to the corner makes a big throw and it sort of gets him going see if that does it here a little tempo action now by manny diaz's club another one to the end zone restrepo got tangled up no flag on the play and carolina had cedric gray the linebacker stride for stride with restrepo it's a fantastic play by cedric gray and you're up against a slot receiver in tempo they catch you you've got it defended down the field keeps his poise forces the incompletion it's a good read though by tyler van dyke that is absolutely where you go with the football so second in the full 10. for miami who gets the ball to start second half would love to have something on the board going to the locker room and here is knight making a move and took a big lick but a first down to the 28-yard line on the hit by kyler mcmichael jaylen knighton can absolutely fly in the game to try and provide some bursts for this miami offense [Applause] you get a look at the rooster here's van dyke and breaking away is keyshawn smith inside the 10. a missed tackle by the tar heels gray saved the touchdown mcmichael got caught in between breaking it up and tackling keyshawn smith cedric gray though he's been all over today touchdown saving tackle quick snap van dyke looking for the end zone throwing for rambo incomplete grimes will be flagged again i think tony grimes is okay on both of the pass interference calls he's okay until rambo starts to go for the football that's when he continues to be hands he turn hands off the receiver go for the ball but both of those times just a little too handy with the ball in the air pass interference defense number two might rule the ball be placed at the two yard line first down there was 20 not two not one of the numbers let's see look you're fine there you'll find there that's when you're not pulled back right yes it's that left hand that kind of wrapped around it's not the end of it it's the left hand that's wrapped around that doesn't allow him to get back to the footprint high formation for van dyke little play fake rolls right throws mallory cannot hang on gimmel got a hand in the passing lane the linebacker got his whole body in the passing lane he's just running to catch mallory with his hands in the air trying to recover but like that's a guy that's played a lot of football he knows he's pete raises his arm in the air towards the arms of will mallory and gets it in tight end to the right single receiver they're going to hand to knight and he'll plunge for the miami touchdown [Applause] jalen knighton's first rushing score of the year comes with 433 to play in the first half miami again the beneficiary of some some penalties that helped them get down and this time punch it in the end zone but how about tyler van dyke it took him a little bit against virginia to get into this game that drive may be the drive to get him going it's exactly what it took in the game prior this time we'll see if he can continue seven plays 75 yards and 143 for gollus to move the difference back to 11. [Applause] and he serves it right through but jalen knighton gets the score van dyke buys him some positive momentum the offensive line creates the hole cedric gray has to take on a tight end out of the back of the full back and for all intents and purposes wearing number 80 something wearing number 80. powers him into the end zone it's a it's a response drive for miami at a time that they needed it you get the ball first in the second half and the way you get back in this game is score stop get the ball back second half go down and score again it's a new ball game well we're talking about a team two that only had five yards of total offense prior to the drive yeah amazing amazing so a 75-yard march in seven plays and 143 and all of a sudden everybody in the white hat feels a little better but roddy four and a half left to go for a carolina team with two timeouts and this carolina team has not been its most the most explosive version of itself this season has reported as number 45 chandler with an explosive play josh downs with an explosive play they still if you blink and you let your guard down they can put it in the end zone quick that's right [Music] and they don't have to put it in zone quick before 33. i mean they can use it on down the field but you don't let miami double dip you here either certainly especially here's the other thing too the middle side of this you led 10-0 last week you end up losing by 10 to florida state you gave up big explosives to jordan travis malik mclean a big touchdown i mean all sorts of little things happen you got it you got it and mentally both of these teams gone through adversity not only in this game but this year carolina will scrimmage from its 25 with four and a half to go that's been some of the battle this week for sam howell and phil longo don't forget state farm halftime report coming up first half recaps of not only our game but blacksburg as well where pitt virginia tech are meeting and a look ahead to the pack and eagles tonight at chestnut hill plus roddy asked the question does the javari harvey pick six count as a big man touchdown big man touchdown cornett manuel macklane and richt weigh in it's a big man touchdown absolutely you have cast your vote they will have theirs then we'll resolve here's dj jones nothing on the play as we work our way toward four minutes to go north carolina is at their most dangerous when they're good on first down and so that first down stop huge for miami get them in second and long now if you can get them to third and long that becomes the key and you have to think all right it's just gonna be sam howell tucking running the ball or josh downes who's in the slot to the bottom second in the full ten for howell they're gonna run it with dj jones he'll keep his feet and second and third effort will get the first down to the 35. jones's best run of the day by a long shot that was what a 10-yard run and i think there may have been five or six missed tackles just in that little bit of time [Applause] howell spends it middle of the field downs another catch working against corey flagg the linebacker [Applause] josh downs now with nine catches in this first half one thing that he does really well that i don't think he gets enough credit for because he's so good elsewhere it's fine space he's so good at finding those little pockets in the middle of the defense off the 46 with 320 to he'll play at the miami 40. it's a weapon roddy this year phil long goes out about as good a feel as anybody for that quarterback draw you know there's sometimes we see you know the the counter read or the the zone read but that time it's just a straight quarterback draw and there's nobody in the middle field for miami under three to go howler tries to find a spot keeps his feet again it'll have a tar heel first down to the 29. [Applause] all right so so we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna try and count the missed tackles on this one it's another 10 yard run let's see if we can count them sam how it takes the snap he drops back i'm gonna count that as one that's two that's three right there that's four in the open field i'm gonna say okay you got him down there on the back end it wasn't it wasn't impressive howell thought about the quick throw now bullets one to downs and he will drive to the 45 with 225 to play so you're gonna stand at four on the missed tackles yeah i'll say three and a half because uh whoever was at the defensive line i didn't get the number but he was kind of tangled up but but that was why that was one of the keys i mean miami has struggled so much this year tackling the football we saw it earlier on the dj jones ten yard run second down and 10 missed tackles 10 yards same with sam howell here downs has a career high 10 catches in the first half second and seven and jones trying to find an alley and it will be tackled on the shoe tops at the 25 by mccloud all right so you're on the fringes of field goal and you're in field goal range if you're north carolina on offense miami defense this third and six this is how you get your your your team in the game you come up with a stop here right and limit the damage that's been done so far your offense isn't going to have a lot of time two time outs though so maybe you get a response with a big thing is you need a stop josh downs in that bunch formation so dangerous at the top of your screen here's howl and miami bringing heat sam in trouble and he'll be sacked and out of field goal range back at the 39-yard line keandre smith a tremendous play by miami and a time-out taken by manny diaz with 106 to go well they're going to put some time back on the clock because manny diaz and that signal was coming with about 110 but how about right up the middle you get keantre smith being able to bring down sam howell too how many times have we seen sam howell get out of that because of his strength wanted to throw the ball but did not have time because of keandre smith and let's not let's not forget jafari harvey able to get back there too boy manny diaz's staff dialed one up there roddy perfect timing on the delayed move by the striker perfect timing and as you said knocks them out of field goal range as well so that is a big play see what north carolina opts to do we saw earlier today jonathan kim the kickoff specialist was banging them in from about 60 yards on these field goals so we'll see if they come out and attempt to field goal who it is and no they're going to go ahead and punt we'll say the wind was going they would be kicking into the wind oh i'm sorry it is going to be a field goal tonight grayson atkins who also was hitting him from 50 plus in pregame his career is 51. he hit it last week against florida state and a year ago against virginia this is 52. starting to say earlier the wind this would have been into the wind not a lot of wind right now though kiernan will hold drew little snaps kick is away it's got a hurry and it's offline to the right so a miss from 52 atkins on the year now is five of nine and miami 65 yards 65 seconds and two timeouts yeah you've got one timeout yeah they took the time out before before the field goal attempt but this is a this is a great scenario for miami how quickly it turns north carolina all the momentum looking like they're going to score take the sack missed the field goal my abs good field position here the freshman quarterback tyler van dyke starting to feel it a little bit on that last drive four receivers to the top van dyke tar heels rush four long throw to the backside and dropped by cameron harris [Applause] a minute to go don't forget sunday best on your way tomorrow here on acc network volleyball starts us at one o'clock pittsburgh number four in the country against florida state and then at three o'clock women's soccer number 17 notre dame visits number two virginia sunday best on acc network streaming live on the espn app [Applause] two by two look here from miami with a minute even to go van dyke middle of the field intercepted picked off by cameron kelly second interception thrown by van dijk in this first half camron kelly read it like a book was all over that route and it hurts even more because he missed mike harley on the play before who was open over the middle but watch nine at the bottom right of your screen sees the route changes his eyes looks at the quarterback so that he can make the play tyler van dyke never sees him but it's a great break a great read by camron kelly on the back end and now north carolina in a great position to end up with points tar heels from the hurricane 42 two timeouts and 55 seconds howell under duress will throw it out of bounds second and ten coming up zach mccloud or no chance williams the defensive end 33 not 53 and the belt has been awarded to cameron kevin should get the belt that was a really nice play that looked like the old mid-atlantic championship wrestling tv title belt that bob cottle used to hand out yeah exactly he's describing i love it when the guys on the sideline relive he's like it was right here it was right here and it kind of you know popped up but i got it [Applause] here's howell dancing right back foot throw and a bullet over the head of antoine green and a flag for a late hit coming [Applause] personal foul roughing the passer defense number 53 landing with his full body weight on the quarterback 15-yard penalty automatic first down zach mccloud come on [Applause] you're going to see zach mccloud oh i mean what's he supposed to do how is he supposed to land wes like he's in midair sam how's it mid-air when he hits him how is he supposed to not have that not happen does he let go mid-air and like fall off i get we're trying to protect quarterbacks but but i mean he's going to make a play and he grabs him while sam howell is admitted there has to be some sort of discretion to say all right like look there's nothing else that god could have done ball to the 27 little delay and dj jones carolina has to burn a time out here and they do call it with 39 seconds left and it's the second time we've had a quarterback a roughing the passer call that i have completely disagreed with it and look by the letter of the law that may that may very well be right roughing the password but if that's the letter of the law then the law needs to be changed because that's it's brutal it and it's at a time for miami where they've got to stop it's a crucial part of the ball game and the fact that he gets penalized for doing the only thing he can do it's just i mean it's ridiculous right i won't say anything more about it i'll move i'll move on kind of like the gray area of targeting ronnie well at least there's some gray hair there like i would love for there to be gray area here sam howell is in the air he can't he's not going to pull off so what is what else is where is he supposed to land his body weight can only go one way and it's fully like you can't change the way your body weight's going while it's in the air it's just it's ridiculous i said i was done and you guys brought me back now i'm done i'm here i'm finished okay you sure no okay i'm done north carolina's gotta take advantage that's all i gotta say 39 seconds to go second and six out of the timeout carolina with one left leading by 11. powell cuts it loose behind olson [Applause] justin olsen was kind of lonesome out there in the middle of the field roddy yeah he was miami's dropping numbers they're able to get pressure only bringing four so they're able to drop a lot of numbers and olson did find a little spot but because you're able to force sam howell out of the pocket he's kind of scooting to his left it's an errant throw josh down has been very quiet here the last few drives but there's been less man-to-man from miami as well a little more conservative play calling although i think you may get man here they're able to get to him on a blitz last time they did though third down you're gonna get pressure from that left side beats six powell in trouble again in the pocket tried to just buy time and ultimately got socked again that time deandre johnson and amari carter and they'll push it to the back end of atkins range here one more time i think you have to really credit the miami defense twice coming up not only with the stop but the sack on third down to force the long field goal especially after the change of of possession the quick change of possession on the interception matt brown calls the time out and they're going to attempt a field goal so the final tar heel timeout with three seconds left and he rolled almost right into the arms of jared harrison hunt and then when he turned around amari carter was right there it's a good thing amari carter's bodyweight was off to the side but it's a nice job on the wrap-around by harrison hunt and then amari carter ends up finishing it but again you can't say enough about this defense i get there's been some frustration from miami fans about the way they performed overall but this team hasn't quit at all this team is playing hard and this defense especially they've had four they have flaws and they've given up plays but they really settled down the back half of that second half of this first half 48 yard try by atkins will be the final play of the first half center of the field wind kind of whipping around here a little bit [Applause] and that kick is going to be perfect carolina gets three going to the locker room [Applause] it's a nice job of the defense i would consider that a win for miami's defense forcing carolina to kick the field goal especially after the interception grayson atkins punches it through and they may be down two touchdowns but i think miami is going to be feeling pretty decent on defense for how they did the back half of that first half 31-17 at the break state farm halftime report jordan cornett eric mclean e.j manuel coach ricker next on acc network dustin poirier wanted a better life what about this one going in miami being motivated having lost that game a season ago to carolina 62-26 right already giving up 31 points here it's on pace for unc to once again score 62 points coach what do you see in the first well just because you're motivated don't mean you're going to play any better and that's kind of what we're seeing right now uh they're they're struggling mighty mildly on offense i know coach lashley's trying like mad to find things that this kid could do and it's hard to take a true freshman quarterback and throw him in the fire like that and expect big things so it's just uh no running game throwing and catching is not good they're they're struggling a couple picks from van dyke in that first half e.j what a tough day yeah you talk about the pick one of them was just forced i mean they were throwing double slants in the boundary off a play-action pass and we talk about the footwork all the time on a quick game when you're riding a fake you usually do a three-step drop but he just went right into a slant just you know kind of creating making a bad play worse in a situation and that's what young quarterbacks often do and this is what we expected from unc run the ball get going physicality wise that's what you want to see and sam howell i mean back to his old self it's every other game that's when we start seeing sam really pick it up now they still need to protect him better but he's running the ball effectively when he gets out in space really have broken some great tackles which that's kind of par of the course for miami there but would like to see this offensive line do a little bit better job protecting him three sacks give him the time that he needs to throw the ball it's been gritty from sam howell especially when he's tucked that thing shed a few tackles a couple of times really working to create some juice for his offense this one feels like it's tracking towards potentially being lopsided this duke virginia game it was lopsided yo bronco mining on uva hosting coach cutcliffe and duke this one at 12 a dual threat guy coach does it himself yeah he's just having fun it looks like a playground out there and it's in it's his game you know he's the first guy picked because he's the best player on the field and he's doing it again every quarterback wishes he has a target like gelati woods eric and he's freaky six foot seven two seventy just throw it to him he's a monster he'll go get it virginia wins wins big 48 to nothing 364 yards another day at the office for brennan armstrong pitt virginia tech this one going on currently big time implications for the coastal panthers trying to win in blacksburg for the first time since 2015. insert kenny pickett gavin bartholomew for the eight-yard touchdown pit lead seven nothing midway through the second quarter same score virginia tech on their own 20. braxton burmeister may be playing hurt ej but has not looked himself thus far yeah he hasn't you know and honestly this play right here is just a disconnect on what the actual play call is i mean he's throwing a slant on time ends up being an interception that's tough pit in business here ensuing possession first and goal for the panthers kenny pickett a cool customer tucks it nirvana hit leads at this point 21 to nothing what have you seen so far from this high-flying pit panthers offense in this first year really just kenny pickett getting after it and doing what we thought that he would a little bit of struggle early on uh you know this virginia tech defense played really well uh but he's finding his way running the ball effectively as we've seen and then just throwing strikes i mean it's very impressive to see kenny pick it time and time again where where did wayne come from i must have missed this kid wayne five number five yeah another weapon for this panthers offense it feels like there's a plethora of them yeah there is and i think another thing that's going to go to kenny's resume is the fact that he's throwing the ball great in the win so teams that are starting to really scout this guy they're going to notice this game all right we can throw it and win maybe we'll bring them up north i don't know one of those teams don't know about the chicago bears but they got a quarterback but in all seriousness attention he's doing a great job he's playing consistent and again he's playing with complete control anytime a quarterback can find a tight end in the flat or get it to a back in the check down and it can turn into a conversion on a touchdown that's going to be big pitts defense playing great too you know get a shutout at this point to this game virginia tech just can't get anything going i don't know if they even have another backup quarterback that's even ready to go i think it'd be a massive statement for pitt to go in there in lane stadium it might not be the night atmosphere it was a week ago when notre dame went in there but yet still a road win and pitt can hold on and do this and puts them in prime position in the coastal with bigger things in mind for them the ground game has been a big part of carolina succeeded but this has heavy implications of the atlantic race what are you keying in on in this matchup yeah i'm keen on dennis grossell how is he going to play in this game is he going to give guy like zay flowers an opportunity to make plays you go back to that clemson game they could have won that one and then he's overthrowing pose he's overthrown a couple goal routes he just has to take a deep breath relax give guys opportunities to make plays yeah grosso is a guy they believe in but has he really produced to this point he's been good not great he gives them a chance they have shifted their offensive attack a little bit they've become they're like 928 yards rushing 1100 yards passing so it's very much bounced compared to you know when they had jerkovic so they may help them but if they can't run against this defense for uh nc state number one in the league versus the run that balance is going to be key and it's going to be interesting to see how much does weather affect them you know if it's raining i'm going to give the edge to the best defensive team and that's nc state and i just think those guys up front are going to get that push necessary so then can you have the balance to also throw in the rain when you look at nc state those linebackers they just fly around i expect them to make a really big presence today for nc state yeah garwo his ability to run the football for bc becomes a focus because this pack defense it's been special despite the injuries giving up a league best only 295 yards of total offense to the opposition in this weather it doesn't become another one of those trench warfare games that remains to be seen one thing we do know boston college has struggled mightily against ap top ranked teams 21 straight they have lost to a team with a number in front of the last win coming in 2014 versus usc wow basically to see how this one plays out tonight jalen knight the lone offensive touchdown for the canes can they bring a comeback in chapel hill enjoy the second half we'll see you post game this halftime report is presented by state farm like a good neighbor state farm is there [Music] 50 minutes in our subway game refresh for van dyke yeah it has been a couple of interceptions this one tipped up in the air an ill-advised throw and then the one later on where he just gets read by camron kelly who ends up coming up with the pick it's an excellent job by the safety but on the other side sam howell has really done a nice job especially on the ground that's where he's been most effective outside of going to josh downs his legs have been a big time factor throughout the year creating broken tackles he's also done it a little bit through the air and by the way you know josh downs pretty good at football you get him the ball in the open field he takes it for a touchdown and then sam allah added another one a little bit later so it's kind of been a story of two quarterbacks the experience of sam howell gets the inexperience of tyler van dyke sono's first half stats reflect carolina's dominance important to know before the miami touchdown drive that ended with the knight score mccain's only had five yards of total offense they went 75 yards on that last drive to let carolina kick the field goal to make it a two score difference and miami will get the ball here as we start half number two at keenan and chapel hill got a little chilly we've kind of been through the weather spectrum here today you just you just made fun of me for saying it was chilly putting my jacket on well here's the thing as alex chapel will attest it poured about 35 minutes before kickoff because it was so hot and then we had the sun kind of peek out in the first half now the the breeze and the chill have kind of picked up here as we go to half too we'll say alex has been on top of exactly what the weather was going to be today yeah she said hey look guys it's going to rain pregame second half might be a little might be a little chilly temperature's going to drop but all over our producer rick angelo thought he had an inside track on meteorology only to be trumped today by alex chapman started out at 86 degrees before kickoff now at 70 and here's cameron kelly on a first half carry a 15 20 20 six yards 22 yards for uh cameron harris and he is down for injury as cameron kelly had to carolina interception cameron harris gets 22 [Music] and he is shaken up on the play we will step aside early here in chapel hill half too well two touchdown difference cameron harris being helped to the miami bench and thus the tent brought you another look at the run 22 yards for the kings yeah and on the back end of this run his knee just gets caught up as he's going down and never great to see jaylen knighton with the carry there and i think where it puts miami is in a really tough spot at running back from a depth standpoint jalen knighton you have after that now it's cody brown who played a lot while knighton was suspended but pass protection becomes a big word yep and the rooster gonna get a lot of run here in the second half if harris can't return also thaddeus franklin went for 88 yards and a score but that was in the blowout of central connecticut state so did cody brown i mean you know we'll see how all that sorts itself out here depending on the extent of the harris injury third and four coming up from miami van dyke five of 15 for 59 and he's been picked twice quick throw and open for the catch mike harley nice security blanket to have in the veteran harley it's a nice job of securing the catch by mike harley you'd love a better throw from tyler van dyke so you can catch that and run but most importantly they got the first down at the tar heel 40 for miami van dyke wants to take the shot harley there and broken up by carolina jacquari is kindly and had trey morrison back there but another super play by connolly who's been a star in the secondary today for caroline certainly has and he makes a really good play here because harley has a step on him but connolly doesn't commit pass interference puts his hands up in the air and knocks the ball down he's probably helped by mike harley mike harley doesn't put that arm out right kylie probably runs into him but nonetheless a nice play by number zero second in the full 10. this is nighting around the corner trying to run away from kimmel and runs right into kelly in the secondary that's an 11-yard run for jalen knighton alex well wes roddy i had a chance to catch up with both coaches before here half time and manny diaz telling me that when you think of our team we've got a lot of fight in us you saw the way we battled back at the end of the first half but with a young quarterback making his first start on the road we got to make some big plays happen around him [Applause] well knight stumbled roddy when he got to the edge there almost like the turf got him uh it was miles murphy that pushed the offensive lineman into jayla knighton's not in the jail jaylen knighton's lap it's a tongue twister after half done cody brown comes in the ball game we see miles murphy's power come out a couple of times in this game just driving driving offensive lineman in the backfield that's mallory the tight end in motion van dyke wants to throw gimbal pressures and the throw is caught keeshan smith but he'll be taken down well behind the line they're trying to set up the fake smokescreen wheel up the sideline to will mallory but just doesn't have enough time to find it because kimmel's coming through and it forces that third and long if your manny diaz in this situation you want tyler van dyke to try and cut it in half you don't have to get all of it but if you can get about 10 then it gets you to a much easier field goal or it gives you an opportunity to think about going for it miami just two for five on third down gonna try and sprint it with knight and gray will throw him down shy of the 30. and miami he's going to keep the offense on the field here roddy i wonder if they're not trying to they're not going to try to get north carolina to jump off sides i'd be surprised if you snapped it fourth and ten this early in the second half i think you take the points they are five for eight on fourth down van dijk scrambling from the pocket and will stretch for the first down ball popped loose but i think he's ruled down at the 18. that'll be enough for the first down how and how much how much does the missed field goal at the end of the virginia game play into the mindset of manny diaz here fourth and ten you know you're going to need points tyler van dyke nice job of tucking it down scrambling making a man miss and yeah clearly down that ball hits on the ground as it pops out cody brown the running back now with van dyke [Applause] van dyke looping for the end zone smith tried to come back for it there'll be a flag for pass interference on kyler mcmichael mcmichael had a hold of that back shoulder as smith is trying to disengage and roll best interference defense number one 15-yard penalty first down [Applause] yeah see that back shoulder smith trying to roll back forward just can't disengage and mcmichael is frustrated by that but that's it's about as clear as it gets now the question is was that was that ball catchable i actually think it was i think he could have could have gotten to it he rolled back even fur if he was able to roll back kind of falling out of bounds 11th play of the drive now first goal at the three cody brown in the backfield now first time we've seen him yep now brown's gonna get the carry and runs right into a stack and bounces off and scores the miami touchdown third rushing score of the year for brown just ran into the pile nobody ever wrapped them up i don't even know if any north carolina players had a shot at him because of the job that the offensive line was doing maybe taman fox did [Applause] but a statement drive to start the second half for miami roddy like the second half what 16 days ago i mean maybe this miami team this offense maybe it's a second half offense well it's 31-24 carolina but miami who only had 21 yards of rushing in the first half had 59 on that drive and tyler van dyke wouldn't got his team a touchdown yes he did and it's a team that as we said at the top they control their own destiny in the coastal division if you win out even though you have the loss of virginia virginia already a couple losses in conference so you would go to the acc championship game now that's a tough schedule nc state from the other side florida state's a team that nobody wants to play right now this miami team if they're able to put it together and that's a big if because they haven't yet if they're able to put it together and win out and they could still represent the coaster touchdown difference carolina's offense to get it for the first time and conley will signal for the fair catch tar heels will scrimmage from their 25. sam howell was 12 of 20. 104 in a couple of scores did have the pick six to harvey but he also carried the ball for 61 yards and 11 tries in the first half yeah his legs were very effective and finding josh downes was very effective josh downs had 10 catches in the first half everyone else had two combined of those 12 uh completions that sam howell have if i'm carolina first play is going to josh downs look at this they better hurry get somebody over there miami moving bubba bolden at least into the neighborhood here's how quick throw and antoine green midfield inside the 40 and to the miami 34 goes antoine greene to cory couch finally wore him down this is where north carolina is typically so dangerous the rpo you get antoine green on that glance route that sort of skinny post right behind the linebackers and sam howell is so good at throwing this james williams the safety sucked up doesn't get a finger on the football and he just out runs to corey couch across the field tar heels in plus territory on their second snap ty chandler trying to step out of a couple of tackles and fights for about three second and seven coming up nestor jade silvera big number one from miami a guy who had major impact in what miami did defensively last year roddy part of the tackle machine there yeah he did and he and jared harrison jonathan ford is they're part of the defensive line group that that that he felt like manny diaz felt like is much improved from where they were a year ago particularly playing the run but this defense they're gonna have any shot they're gonna tackle better in second half powell walston the tight end uh he'll be chopped down after a yard to the 30. miami handles it well tyreke stevenson two in the white jersey the transfer from georgia with the title there you go now that's a tackle you come up you hit tyrek stevenson did not play in the first half because of the targeting but back in this one there is what the preseason looked like on the left and what reality is in october on the right where's wake forest you're white forest up there coast wake's not in that top five in july nc state jack brown told us the media we got it wrong here's here's howell steps out sam first down at the 20 10 5 touchdown carolina you said it early on you gotta tackle we've highlighted it a couple of times today you have to tackle how about the job though by sam howell his legs have been a dangerous weapon today james williams goes all shoulder on the quarterback and let me tell you there's a quarterback in this league that's not going down with just a shoulder tackle it's sam howell his ability to run the football on full display in 201 carolina answers the miami touchdown with one of their own sam howell now has his fourth rushing score of the year roddy he's got 91 yards on a dozen carries and bidding for his third 100 100 game of the year i mean in the off season he talked to the media talked to us about how that was a piece of his game that he was looking to improve he improved at it last year and has improved significantly this year he's been much more physical in his runs and while you don't love your quarterback taking some of these hits you're in the open field and you think you have a chance to break a tackle absolutely go for it spins off the freshman james williams and is able to get in the end zone sam howell fired up what a job he has done throughout the season really it has not been as smooth throwing the football as it was previously but he has moved this offense with his legs you know he's a quiet leader a lot of it by example i think alex talked about it earlier he understands the intensity he understands the emotions but man can he make plays and from an nfl stock standpoint there's been a lot of talk about what's going on with sam howell this year let me tell you his ability to run the football is going to help him no matter what right miami from its 25 after the tar heel drive of four plays 75 yards [Music] and now the canes find themselves down two touchdowns again and alex roddy i like the relationship we saw this week in our in our preparation between phil longo and sam howell roddy i i respect the kind of and we saw it with mark whipple and kenny pickett too it too yeah and these are these are offensive coordinators and quarterbacks that have been together on their third season now and and the types of quarterbacks that you're talking about are guys that are experienced and have seen a lot van dyke whips one in and a great catch by rambo first catch of the day for charleston rambo is one for eight yards to the miami 33. similar coverage to the one we saw earlier get picked but the difference is tyler van dyke gets it out of his hands quick and gives his receiver a chance and knight will fight toward the first down jeremiah gimmel had him wrapped up and i think we're going to get third short here for miami a lot of time left in this game but offensively miami's got to be feeling the pressure a little bit got to put up points on just about each and every drive here's knight breaking three 45 and conley to shoot top tackle ball popped out carolina says they've got it back was he ruled down before it cashed out [Applause] the conversation on the field ruling on the field is that the ball carrier was down prior to the ball come loose down a couple things going on here one great play by jaquarius conley because that was one that was going to get out and if jalen knighton gets in the open field you're probably not catching him two jayla nine's got to hold on to the football it's the second week in a row last week late in the game against virginia puts the ball on the ground as they're trying to go score play stance to the 48 van dyke back foot throw beyond the reach of keyshawn smith let's go back you're going to take a look what's this right knee of jalen knighton going to hit the ground and really it's the elbow down and it pops out second in the full tent van dyke another quick throw mallory the catch and that will be another miami first down to the carolina 41 gray made the stop and boy it's been a wh an interesting season a lot of expectation for will mallory ronnie just his tip catch glad for him to enter the chat in this game here's van dyke again restrepo the grab at the 35 and a little more for xavier finally pushed out at the 24 carolina and now we got to mon fox scrambling with charleston rambo in the miami bench area away from the play wayne haye trying to restore a little order over there a little chippiness going on on the miami sideline this tempo has really helped miami though especially if they get that first first down rambo the catch lowered his shoulder and pushed out of bounds finally on a collision there with giovanni biggers roddy does the tempo help van dyke yeah i think so uh the faster you go the simpler the defense typically has to be i think also from a rhythm standpoint it doesn't give the young quarterback as much time to sit there and think about all the things he has to go through she's got to snap the ball trust what he's seeing and throw it [Applause] play fake tonight looping towards smith again and morrison came flying over there to break it up don chapman [Applause] also in the neighborhood i'll tell you what uh that that is a pretty darn good throw because you got to get it over there before trey morrison gets there you got to put it a place where your receiver can goes for it with one arm look keyshawn smith's capable of making that that's his second arm is kind of being held a little bit so by the way don chapman and keyshawn smith both from lincoln high school in san diego battling there whistles blow we got a marker down i think miami might have gotten an early start let me get charleston rambo prior to the ball being snapped false start offense number 11. five-yard penalty third down flag against miami go back to keynes up don't forget we're number one the story of 1990 acc football premieres monday night seven o'clock on acc network streaming live on the espn app chronicling the transformative season of acc football free play van dyke throws it out of bounds but was there any black the free play no i don't think that no flag how about that so it's fourth and ten [Music] they're trying to quick snap north carolina and and that's on the center the center sees him come across the line of scrimmage and snaps it and remember jakai clark's first start on the road at center snaps the ball there's no carolina defenders are in the neutral zone so miami ends up with a wasted play i thought they thought they had a free play they turned out they had to pay full price 42-yard try for boragalus he hit already from 44 today kick away and it is good so andres borgalis point lead on miami under six to go here in the third with roddy jones alex chapel west durham rick angelo our producer kyle lang is our uh director today at our great acc network crew here in chapel hill they've had to about a little bit of the rain beforehand as well thanks to everybody for their efforts to help bring a game one of our acc doubleheader bc nc state to follow tonight from chestnut hill dave o'brien tim hasselbeck kelsey riggs standing by for you conley will return this jaquarius 25 30 35. and they'll spot it at the 36 before boragalus the kicker shoved him out of bounds closing this one call me and look we can do it all man i like i like the way he plays to aquarius connolly oh absolutely oh yeah that's the right attitude yeah those defensive guys love it when they get their their hands on the ball makes a couple guys miss gets up the sideline he says look i don't know i want to be a part of a football team a defensive guy didn't like to run the ball oh no they're always lobbying for punt returns and kickoff returns you're has nowhere to go miami shut it down jonathan ford at 315 out of dillard in fort lauderdale led the charge there's big jonathan ford 25th career 26 career start today second and 12. gonna hand the ball inside right head goes nowhere and that time corey flagg [Applause] fired through to make the play a couple of nice plays on first and second down for miami now the key obviously going to be getting north carolina off the ball but it's a nice job this miami defense it's already given up more yards rushing than they have all year in this game over 200 yards rushing so far for north carolina kind of go to first and second down 91 belongs to the quarterback behind me with pressure howe dumps it to jones and that goes nowhere miami keandre smith who's returned to the lineup and played great today along with jafari harvey who's got the pick six early and miami goes through forces carolina into a three and out that's a quick three and out two get that offense he just scored some momentum they just got a field goal i should say some momentum how it starts though if you're miami it's really about the stops as much as it is about the score yeah jacoby george waits on the punt of the irishman that ball is hammered george inside the 15. coming near side 25-30 and eases out of bounds before wallston shoved him at the white at the 36-yard line carolina's looking for a flag over there 55-yard punt by kiernan his best of the year mac brown not happy without the flag coming as well trey bly lobbying as well right next to him don chapman shake it up it looks like so miami's going to start and it's 35. well you see the details it's an 11-point game with 3 42 to go into third it's been it's been a fight all day for tyler van dyke in his first road start yeah it has and yet this miami team only finds themselves down by 11. you can put the ball in the end zone here or even get a field goal here it gets really interesting here's van dyke backing up steps out of the pocket and as he goes to slide takes a shot near the 41. no flag on the play it's a run of five cameron kelly the guy that made contact with the miami quarterback he got really fortunate that he pulled up it was very smart of him to pull up as well but almost got caught in that that that commitment area where you can't so he avoided what could have been disaster hodges a tight end in motion here is van dyke rolling right he will dump it and the catch made rashard smith another one of those youngsters seventh catch of the year for smith tamari fox runs him out of bounds it's third and five i thought we'd see more of richard smith today he did a lot with him in that virginia game trying to get him the ball in space but i haven't seen a ton of it now on this third and five the question is where do you go there hasn't been sort of that go-to we've got one-on-one at the bottom mike harley in the slot to the top van dyke wide open [Applause] was the last line between jalen knighton in the end zone wow what a play third and five you get the ball to your explosive back in the backfield tyler mcmichael makes a miss and he's able to take it to the end zone for a touchdown i'm a little surprised here wes miami option to kick the extra point rather than go for two and make it a three-point game [Applause] nonetheless you get the touchdown which is the most important deal 225 to go [Applause] miami has outscored carolina 17-7 [Applause] look at this again tyler van dyke goes through his progressions and this is why you hit your your outlet this is why you dump it off because when you have a guy like jayden jaylen knighton as soon as he made caller mcmichael miss i'm sorry cameron kelly but it was game over and that dude can absolutely fly down the field and again miami one of the keys was creating explosives explosive plays on the offensive side of the football so that you don't have to just slowly and steadily moved down the field jaylen knighton does that and again wes like you you're always the voice of reason here i feel like when i get all excited about teams going for two are not going for two why don't you go for two there you're down five get the card the card says down five go for two wes telling you player number eighteen card says down five you go for two absolutely you try and make it a three point like what's the difference being down four and being down five you need a touchdown to win it no matter what right so go for two bring yourself in a field goal maybe mandy diaz didn't feel great about the two-point play they had there's a lot of factors that go into it but man by the way i like jalen knight's yard for catch that was his first catch of the year won't be his last origalis and there'll be no return so carolina now up four and the ball alex but miami's got a little vibe on offense they do and after their last drive just before that scoring play actually watching rhett lashley talk with his offense talking with his running backs he said hey just start to get to the outside and things will open up well safe to say wes and roddy message received we've talked a lot about miami's inability to tackle carolina has been almost as poor tackling throughout the season and they have tackled well today with the exception of that one but i mean it rears its head it's ugly ugly head the tackling woes one of the worst times first down feels pretty important here if you're phil longo right yeah i'd say so howl to throw looking for downs that's his first catch of the second half i think cameron kitchens the tackle on josh downs who had 10 first half catches and that's his first of the second half and it comes with 209 to go into third well got to find ways to get him the ball but miami seemed content to play off for the most part of josh downes rally to the football and if you can get there right as he's catching the ball before he gets ahead of steam and can make you miss gonna hand the ball and firing through is ty chandler it'll be third about four [Applause] williams the tackle so north carolina who on the day is six of 11 on third down has third and let's call it the full five roddy yeah and you've got josh downs in the stack to the bottom see what they decide to do looks like the corey couch is going to be on him here's howell pumps that was right in trouble sacked keandre smith got back there and was kind of in the in the woods lurking and then it was patient enough to slow down this is a comfort sack watch the bottom josh downs breaks in and there's two guys there sam howell doesn't feel comfortable throwing it and so he's got to roll out it's a nice job on the back end of not only to corey couch but also the safety being aware of where josh downes is when he breaks in safety comes up you got the corner on the outside sam howell doesn't like the look miami gets the sound back to back three and outs for carolina on offense now with 33 seconds left and kieran de punt to george george off the 35 and chapman will ride him down at the miami 38 and that's where the canes will start don't forget tomorrow here on acc network what's tomorrow west sunday best ronnie oh man dude i knew it florida state welcomes pittsburgh to tully jim for volleyball at one o'clock and then at three off to charlottesville number two virginia number 17 notre dame in women's soccer one o'clock is the lead for sunday best on acc network swimming live on the espn f miami's got 180 second half yards to carolina's 76. well look we talked a lot in the first half about miami's defense coming up big carolina's defense needs to come up big here van dyke a deep drop and almost a play made by hodges [Applause] that is larry hodges the tight end what with a quick snap on a under center play tried to sneak hodges up the seam and van dyke just doesn't make the right throw you got to get that to gear tight in standing up he's a little bit low ha just slipped as he was going down second and ten and knight running free first down to midfield into carolina territory at the 49 goes jalen knight tony grimes the tackle you have to credit this offensive line for creating the holes but jaylen knighton can get 10 yards in a blink of an eye he's gonna have to be a workhorse in this fourth quarter coming up but we got ourselves a ball it's go time we start the fourth with brown getting the carry on first down and jeremiah gibbel and rava hossack hit him head on for no game well roddy carolina 38 miami 34. to be honest with you miami had all the momentum they wanted in the third yeah they certainly did it was a heck of a third quarter coming up with stops you get the field goal the explosive touchdown from jalen knighton it feels like the momentum's on that side talked about it when this drive started this miami defense kind of held him in the game now it's up to north carolina to hold the lead here is knight in left side and he will fall forward toward the 42. jaquarius conley the tackle and it will leave three for the first down third and three career high 74 yards rushing for jalen knight and with the injury to cameron harris sustained earlier in the third period it's knighton's ball game with some help from cody brown there's nobody over mike harley at the bottom of the screen the slot van dyke wants to throw batted away at the line by cedric gray fourth down now and because roddy you're in that four point differential early here in the fourth maybe a decision for manny diaz and red lashline yeah it was going to be a long field goal anyway manny diaz went for it on 4th and 10 earlier but this one even though tyler van dyke is a tall quarterback that's a really nice play by cedric they're leaving the offense on the field going closer with their last two possessions do you think about punting it ronnie uh you do think about it but they have opted not to i think i like the aggressiveness they're going to have to hurry to get the playoff though 10 seconds left on the play clock with a young quarterback snap to van dyke quick throw incomplete looking for harley no flags giovanni biggers defending in the secondary yeah they they took a long hard look at it i i don't i don't love what you ended up with mike harley in the slot just running a little five yard stop i don't love that there's no movement there's no there's no picks you're not really forcing north carolina to do anything you see the defenders just sitting on it the whole time giovanni biggers does a nice job knowing the situation so i don't i don't love what you ended up with on the throw i do i don't mind the decision though going forward on fourth down chandler will join howell in the backfield [Applause] downs in motion they're gonna hand it to chandler fights through toward the 48 maybe the 49 it'll be a gain of seven second down in the full three after the mcleod tackle you see the scoring margin in the fourth quarter this year the last two years they've led fbs at plus 116. they used to light people up a year ago absolutely yeah this is this this is not that offense but but still a team that's dangerous in the fourth quarter and look manny diaz may feel like hey whether we give it to him on the 50 or we pin him back deep this is always an offense that's capable of catching fire so the best thing that we can do right now is keep the ball in our offensive hands i don't i don't that's why i don't mind the call lost a yard that time amari carter the miami tackle carolina's ready to go manny diaz trying to get folks off the field carolina did not sub and miami gamble by subbing over here's how sam and what do we get here procedure on carolina fall start offense number 74. five yard penalty third down jordan tucker one of three guys on the offensive line with 22 or more career starts it's one of those penalties that you're happy for because the ball was snapped without that that play had disaster written all over because the ball was snapped about sam howell being ready he catches it nobody's running routes it's pulling dirt though because of the legal procedure and gives you an actual chance even though you've got a tougher time getting the third down the third and up third down and nine 12 and a half to play in chapel hill down second from the top looks like man-to-man miami blinson powell throws this is chandler on the catch flag throw it's a penalty against the quarterback because he got hit by james williams the safety chandler was taken down shy of the first down personal foul rough in the passive defense number zero 15-yard penalty first down all right let's get a look at this one james williams certainly doesn't think it is a roughing the passer i took it to the ground that's it you can't throw it back yeah you can't throw them down you're fine up until the throw down hey i finally agree with one well if you hold him up it's not yeah you can't swing the quarterback on the ground like that's always going to be called yeah but i did agree with that so you're back on the holiday card list from the conference office here's how he's going to keep it and he'll slide at the 30. miami a little overzealous there on the stop of sam howell or i don't they're they're a little upset because sam howell got knocked back down it was the hip of amari carter that did that it wasn't wasn't anything intentional all right but as sam howell is getting up lamar kind of bumps into him looked harmless to me [Applause] salmon sales ready no no i think it was legit i think it was legitimate he was off balance and got knocked down but amari carter it was it was his posterior that knocks him down and five [Applause] powell heads to dj jones at the right took a big lick falls forward i think he'll be short of the first down now a moment ago there's a flag thrown as well on the play and i think jones is a yard shy of the first but let's see the penalty after the play was over personal foul late hit number 81 defense after dishes for the gold first down miami's coming apart at the seams you had north carolina on at third and long you get the the roughing the pass it's a great tackle i think it was 91.91 91 is jordan miller in college football all the time and it wasn't on harrison hunt it was on 91 jordan miller but you see that all the time in college football i cannot believe [Applause] whistles will blow corey flag a play behind the line fourth sack of powell today by miami [Applause] did a nice job playing that one the receiver was open but there was so much junk in sam howell's face that couldn't see the receiver could have no no alley to throw the ball in second and 14. [Applause] chandler will move it toward the 11. it's a gain of six third and eight coming up on between carolina's ability to run sam howell and what they've been able to do on those inside zone plays i mean it's been incredibly impressive them running the football and on third and long i mean look i think miami's likely to bring pressure the sam howell draw has been about as good a play as you've had today [Applause] third and eight hal pumps now will run at the five took a lick bounces through touchdown carolina flags are thrown on an little bit of a skirmish after the touchdown for howell you know what sam howell flicks on him if they're not going to wrap you up continue to bounce off and get in the end zone and when you do flex because the quarterback has been as advertised today maybe not in the style that we expected throwing the ball all over the place but his ability to break tackles his ability to run the football has been the difference today 11-yard run for howard the result of the play is a touchdown after the player was over we have offsetting unsportsman iconic foul penalties fortunate conduct foul number zero unfortunately conduct foul number 75 on north carolina those penalties will all set we will have a drop for point his second rushing score of the day to go with two throwing scores and on both of them he's breaking tackles in the secondary and now that is terrible tackling you're just going with shoulders trying to hit the quarterback but i mean most quarterbacks go down with the shoulder not number seven for carolina atkins fires home the

less games so a little bit less work for pack on wru packers notes will be strong sam howell 99 career touchdowns at carolina ties the school record held by marquis williams oh well so there's two things there it shows you the incredible career that sam howell has had but also people forget about how good marquees williams was like that dude could play some football congratulations to sam howell uh he decides to run the ball five more times my bet is that he uh he eclipses that record they can't talk he's been impressive today the run game's the real threat you know and look like coming into the season the talk was about sam howell the throw or sam howell what he was gonna do but credit to phil longo and to sam howell like this dude was getting top five pick conversation and he's not sliding on these runs like he's running through guys tyler van dyke back to work now miami trailing 11 in the game again and van dijk just going to try and ease out of bounds [Applause] well here's the other part too and alex spoke about this earlier the focus the intensity the understanding of the moment you got to process all that as a quarterback roddy whether you're sam howell or tyler van dyke yeah yeah you do and van dyke has to you got to focus on the task at hand you're down to 11 right now so at this point in time the key is obviously one play at a time getting the ball down the field putting the ball in the end zone that's all you can control straight drop van dyke behind the intended receiver keyshawn smith carolina got tamari fox in through the fray and i think he clouded the uh the view of tyler van dyke [Music] [Applause] seemingly this is a big play with 8 30 to go it may be the game if miami doesn't convert here it's going to be tough i think i mean miami was up to the line quick they could have caught north carolina with 12 men there's a little bit of confusion for north carolina trying to communicate there on the back end miami four for 10 on third down still still confusing van dyke to his right now gonna fire and rambo incomplete he was there with tony grimes [Applause] boy van dyke cut that rock loose cayman rucker was chasing him unfortunately he's got to keep it in bounds it's hard when you're running rolling that hard to your right to keep the ball in bounds and north carolina's defense comes up big you know miami had all the momentum yep 17 points in that third quarter and carolina's defense has come up now twice with big stops when they needed him the most to really solidify his hand blue headley will put it away to josh downes who's been very quiet here in the second half flag thrown whistles blow and that's procedure i think on by part offense number four five yard penalty fourth down and if you want to know why this game isn't what we expected it to be early in the year that's miami's eighth penalty north carolina's gotten on how many missed tackles have we seen how many missed blocks have we seen these two teams just are not what we expected and you can see why it's been on full display here today headley drives that away it will hit at the tar heel 45 and check up right there 11 11-point lead for background edward college football is presented by the eat fresh refresh at subway with ronnie jones alex chapel wester up kanan stadium chapel hill great to have you with us tonight game one of our acc doubleheader nc state boston college still to come from alumni stadium come on fox and the tar heels here's our aflac trivia question fox pass lawrence taylor this season for fifth most sacks in north carolina history who is unc's all-time sac leader is this a trick question i'm serious wes do you know the answer is it's your question no i don't want to throw out the obvious the answer that i think is obvious here's first down i need you to help me here why do i need to help you because you're on the street on the line you're on the street all right i'm going to go julia's back all right let's see if that's right if it's a trick question i'm going to be able to forget all about marcus jones you're forgetting all about i'll start throwing out guys robert quinn played robert quinn big time too you're forgetting about robert tell you what you're really forgetting about greg ellis d hardison ronnie robinson from the 70s it's hard it's hard to forget about guys i didn't see play but you are correct i need to look at the record book irv hold dash that's a name i may take him just because give to chandler near side found one level and gets to the 47 third that's six steed the first guy to get there for miami you kind of feel like it's not kinda you feel like if north carolina gets a first down here it's it's ball game there's just not enough possessions left in the game without something crazy happening now you and i have seen crazy this year but yes we have week two we saw crazy we sure did tallahassee but you need to stop here if you're miami on defense and then a quick score and then another stop so carolina also working the clock here too well absolutely every second that ticks off that's less time for a possession that miami has keep an eye on olson bottom of the screen here's downs he dropped it that's incomplete i think josh was trying to run before it arrived i i know how it turned out i love that play though yeah you fake the zone to the right side to the left side everyone on the right side is pausing and then they spring into action forcing the defenders to react quickly i love the play not the execution see here's the part that probably draws phil longo and background crazy that's carolina's third three and out in their last four possessions yeah yeah so frustrating second half without the one and then and then the the extended drive was roughing the passer right play down the field that was a late hit five second half possessions they have three three and outs and two touchdowns controversial they hit we might add kieran trying to flip the field on miami it's gonna hit and skip out of bounds at the three boy how about the luck of the irish on the bounce by karen no that's skill of the irish right there that looks like you playing on the lynx not that good 50-yard punt for karen ball out of bounds miami backed up when we continue all right miami starts from it's three here's our answer to the outback trivia question who's carolina's all-time leader in sacks final answer yeah there's julius peppers and now i see it's greg ellis come on man i asked you if it was a trick question the streak is over van dijk looping it down field for smith intercepted don chapman no rule didn't completed he pulled it through the catch [Music] ruled incomplete on the field there wasn't a lot of protest from tom chapman i looked away though as he went to the ground it's an incomplete pass second down he's got it there you have to survive the ground with the ball doesn't do it yeah clearly clearly clearly he almost trapped it on his wallet i know that would have been a wide receiver eu nominee had he done it you know what wes what's that this is that's a win for the glove guys don chapman a no glove guy interception hits the ground second and ten for van dyke on an empty set gonna run with it and get to about the eight cedric gray the linebacker has been really good for carolina today i was just about to say that cedric gray has had a ball game matter of fact jeremiah gimmel has as well much more quietly but gimble's got eight tackles on the day cedric gray has been excellent at linebacker as well these two linebackers are really good for this team different though gimbal the older statesman and gray the young sophomore miami you see four of 11 on third down today it's not been great for the for the uh for the canes on third down they came in ninth in the league they had hit 11 of their last 28 5 of 15 against virginia four of 11 today and you get a flag and procedure on miami which will cost him half and we'll replay on third part of the ball being snapped ball start offense number five after this is for the goal third down just kind of see the look on tyler van dyke's face as he wandered back look at jalen knight that damon fox or they ran all the way to the carolina bench and [Applause] that line is fired up well miami it's gotten a little chippy as we've noted certainly eyes miami frustrated carolina happy to stoke those frustrations here's van dyke he'll cut it loose rambo the catch first down miami figures the stop near the 20. it has not always been smooth today for tyler van dyke but you can see the talent flash that is a throw across his body back towards the middle of the field that he absolutely drills in there 16-yard throw carolina trying to get guys lined up they're gonna play fake tonight and throw it on the sled smith got blasted by morrison and a flag trey morrison and keyshawn smith with a big collision on a 15-yard catch defense number four the previous play is under further review this big trey morrison would miss the first half of the notre dame game if this is confirmed timeout in chapel hill for review [Applause] while we returned to chapel hill there was no targeting on the play with trey morrison and keyshawn smith roddy tell me why this is how the process should work wes on this they go and they review it and while keyshawn smith is a defenseless receiver he does not attack the head or neck area it's shoulder to shoulder contact and trey morrison is not ejected here's van dyke sailing it and a catch by harley as it inbounds it is at the carolina 40. tony grimes with a big lick on the back end but harley held on 25-yard bullet from van dijk great catch on the back end and we're going to get a review we're going to have a look at this even go two for two yeah rolling on the field is a completion for a first down previous play is under further review there's a question it does hit the ground at some point so all of those things are going to play into it he gets the foot in bounds and he has control but does it does it get jarred when it hits the ground because he's got it kind of pinned against his body does the ground aid him making the catch i'm gonna go with catch but well we walked some five lines today boy don't do it good review all right so the question is so you got it secured he's got it on his body he's got the foot in bounds all right now you gotta the ground cannot aid in the catch yeah i don't think it moves if it moves i don't think it moves it should be pretty quick for dwayne hayek getting the full look after further review the ruling on the field stands first down [Applause] had a chance to converse with our replay official during halftime about the first half targeting as well and those guys do such a great job it's a hard job wes you're looking at angles trying to find fractions of an inch here there our replay officials do an excellent job van dyke over the top incomplete trying to dial romelo brenson let's go back to the uh keyshawn smith and trey morris and hit roddy again all right so this is the targeting and you're gonna see the shoulder of trey morrison hit the shoulder of keyshawn smith and again there's two different targetings against a defenseless receiver all you have to have or defenseless player all you have to have is forcible contact to the head or neck area because it's shoulder to shoulder doesn't qualify for that and peter vos our replay official determined that it was not targeted handoff tonight and just a couple of yards here makes a third long stop for carolina ronnie you mentioned it on the targeting call tar heels get a bye before going to south bend on the last saturday of october in two weeks miami gets nc state at miami gardens next saturday van dyke backing up smith the catch and conley can't get to him before he gets the first down to tario 29 to hurry up and go now coming up on four to go here and it is an 11 point carolina lead van dyke down the same over restrepo incomplete and he had gamble trailing and now a flag has come in from the far side at the front pylon and pass interference i believe on jeremiah gimble pass interference defense number 44 15-yard penalty first down seeing that live seeing it live i did not agree with it let's let's take a look at the call i mean you can't really see it from that angle i also don't think xavier shepard had much shot if any of catching that football yeah yeah the right arm yeah it's the right he grabbed the right arm restrepo could have taken a dive for it for the ball to try and catch it yeah it's a passing against 10 for 102 for carolina's you know it's the second time on that drive that they've had that blitz and it been successful one was one was blown dead in the end zone this one giovanni biggers the really the best thing that he does here is he attacks the upfield shoulder of tyler van dyke so he can't spin out of it it's a great job by biggers second and long now van dyke gonna loot for rambo cannot hang on against grimes third down tony grimes one of the most talented young corners in this league plays it well against charleston rambo looks like he got beat initially sort of trailing it's a nice job of not committing the pass interference and the ball's getting there able to punch it out that's going for the football it's a really nice play by a young player 11th play of the drive for miami third and 21. you don't need all of it here you got to go for it and the catch made smith close to a first down at the four kelly the stop [Applause] and it is enough for the first down now first and goal miami keynes are on the move here with 312 to go knight will score with 308 to play jaylen knight into the end zone for his second rushing score of the day his third total now you got to follow the card wes go for two gotta go for two yep [Applause] so a three yard run by night 12 plays 97 yards in 332 well it's a responsive drive by miami fighting to the end and see what they go with on the two-point play tight end on the right roddy yeah it's will mallory van dyke to his left back inside caught rambo i believe in traffic held on i tell you what tyler van dyke makes some freshman mistakes but then there are plays that he makes where you go the future is bright he shows you exactly why he was such a highly touted recruit and how he looked so great in the spring let's go back and look at this series a couple of highlights from it tyler van dyke on the third and long the strike to keyshawn smith gets the first down jalen knighton bounces it outside breaks the tackles able to get in the end zone and then how point how about the two-point conversion tyler van dyke rolls to his left sidearm the arm angle patrick mahomes like manny diaz fired up knowing that his team's within three and now you've got a decision to make you can kick it deep and you can give carolina an opportunity on offense three timeouts you've got three timeouts and you've held carolina to three and out in three of the last four possessions you're exactly right or you onside kick it and you take you try you got two shots now you got the shot on the onside kick and you got the shot with the three and out to stop them personally i'm a fan of the onside kick gives you two chances and you gotta stop them no matter what you really have to stop them in the first three downs does it matter if that happened whether that happens back on the 20-yard line or it happens on the 35 you have to do it no matter what well eight years ago tomorrow miami states to come back on carolina in chapel hill at night are the kane's doing it again today [Music] got the hands group out there downs around the tar heel 15. and now borgalos has come off just to check and he'll come running back on so whatever the decision was made by miami it was just made based on carolina's alignment and he's going to wedge it and downs makes a running catch of it at the 27th so carolina gets the ball trying to avoid eight years ago tomorrow tar heels in all black on a thursday night roddy dallas crawford pulls miami within three and then the canes get a stephen morris drive that ends in a crawford touchdown miami comes from behind to win 27-23 after trailing by 10 in the fourth if you can get a first down here it's certainly [Applause] would make it much tougher for this miami team chandler got a yard maybe time out for manny diaz don't forget still to come tonight off to alumni stadium will go kick it 7 30. number 22 nc state and boston college jeff hafley and the eagles 4 and 1. tough loss at clemson in their first conference game dave doran's 4-1 the loss at starkville they beat clemson in overtime what do you like in that game i think the wolf pack is one of those teams that's on some sort of mission yeah i kind of like boston college i don't know there's just something about this jeff hapley team the way that they're playing on defense the offense they're going to be physical in the offensive line i think it's going to come down to the offensive line play in both of those [Applause] hands to games and nothing there another miami turtle or timeout on the harrison hunt stop the clock stops with 2 57 to go there is josh downs 10 for 92 and a score in the first half one for four in the second half ronnie yeah and they tried to get him get it to him on the last third down and just dropped it but caroline is not going to air it out right here you would think an incomplete pass stops the clock so if you're carolina do you try and pull that miami timeout i i honestly i don't think that matters the first down's the most important thing right you've got 257 left on the clock miami may not even take the time out to be honest with you may save it so being afraid of throwing the football is something that i don't think carolina should do so maybe i'll go back on what i just said caroline are not airing it out and and i i want to give miami some credit wes if i can yeah we've gotten after them today with their tackling and they have deserved it but on those three and out drives they've done a great job up front and they tackled the football so statistically the worst tackling team in the country this year a stop here and it's four three and outs for carolina in their last five possessions [Applause] downs is in the third from the bottom here's howell he's gonna run with it and he will get to the 30. miami uses their last timeout on the d'andre johnson tackle [Applause] crowd and kanan does not like the calls and now it is fourth and sixth very conservative on the calls look sam how's your best player your second best player is josh downs and as you said one for four in the second half that was an opportunity and i i give phil longo a lot of credit for what he's done today and he tried to get downs the ball in the last third down but that's a situation where you want josh downs to get involved in some way or at least get give it an option make it be an option on that play to throw the ball to down you know the other thing though is that drive that draw to sam how's been about the best play they've had right for the second half one of the most consistent plays so i i can't be mad at the play calling carolina started five or six on third down they're two of their last nine here's kiernan de punto george and he will hang it high and the fair catch will be made at the 27th with 2 46 to play well miami again roddy you saw it a week ago thursday right a couple of weeks back and they missed the 33-yarder at the horn to beat virginia they hit the field goal to beat appalachian state earlier in the year and alex they find themselves back here again they do and watching tyler van dyke he's just been really calm and collected talking through plays and situations with rhett lashley as manny diaz told me at halftime they have that comeback fight effort in them and now it's just about can they finish tonight 2 46 and no timeouts for the visitors van dyke easy throw night middle of the field he got the first down to the 40. spotted at the 41. to throw a 14 conley to stop so often that first first down is the thing that gets you going and an easy dump to the running back nice play by tyler van dyke [Applause] van dyke flushed by the hasik put it up for grabs and out of bounds [Applause] just doesn't stop rodney no he's a he's a man there but that's a man there was a man powerful getting up field that's why we highlighted him in the open doesn't get a lot of the credit but on the other side tyler van dyke it's a that's a smart play by the quarterback you cannot take a sack in these situations with this much time left you you can survive it but you certainly don't want it and he'll be tackled at the 49. the clock continues to move with 218 to play on jeremiah gimmel's tackle a little banged up [Music] and carolina was thinking about putting kevin hester out there they called him back third and short here under two to go now restrepo trying to help van dyke out with some changes from the miami bench yeah there was a there were a lot of signs waving over there something was trying to be communicated give his knight first down to the tarheel 48-yard line the clock stops with 141 to go and tyler van dyke from glastonbury connecticut here in the second half this miami offensive line has done a much better job in the second half of getting some push up front too for these running runs backs room he'll slide at the 35 34-yard line of carolina clock stops to move the change with 120 to go ronnie this is going to come down to it this is within within field goal range it's a long kick from here but within field goal range [Applause] we got a little bit of an injury miles murphy goes down ray bahasik tried to on the play before they didn't give it to him so you try it again with another guy and now manny diaz fired up across the way at the miami bench and they're going to get murphy off the field quickly boy this was a manny diaz should be fired up but look we see it across the country all the time this week's what iowa penn state i mean this this one's about as obvious as it gets when raven has taken a knee on on third down then you get a couple of plays later another guy goes down and pops right back up walks off without any like that if guys are hurt obviously go down we see it all the time and manny diaz should be fired up ball at the 34 for first and ten 115 to play in chapel hill i guess i should say regulation van dyke under duress flushed stays on his feet to the near side he'll be tackled at the 21. it's a first down for miami desmond evans comes across the field to make the play again well within field goal range and look manny diaz came under some fire at the end of the virginia game for not going for it not being aggressive enough while without being reckless i think you have to give tyler van dyke an opportunity to put this ball in the end zone van dyke eludes beggars throws and short of knight and incomplete 39 seconds left now that situation was a little bit different that that we had against virginia that miami had against virginia field goal would have would have won the game there here a field goal simply ties it so miami obviously going to be aggressive this north carolina defense has been able to get pressure but you have to tackle the quarterback when you get back there we've talked about miami's tackling woes north carolina hasn't been a ton better this season knight in the backfield with van dyke van dyke slings it caught rambo knocked down clock continues to run 30 seconds left you got to throw the ball past the stakes if you're tired roddy they've got time to run a play but you cannot get tackled in bounds there's not enough time to get the field goal off it's got to be an incompletion for first down they're gonna hand it no van dyke batted in the air and is it intercepted it is cedric gray i think has intercepted it right [Applause] [Music] you see the elation on one side the disappointment on the other wes what a play though by this tar heel defense that's a tough catch on the interception once it's batted in the air you got everybody around you cedric gray is able to secure it in miami again second game in a row you end up in field goal territory and end up in heartbreak but cedric craig was fantastic today and comes up with the game-winning interception tyler van dyke emptied the tank roddy this miami team the past couple of weeks has emptied the tank i mean they have played so hard and come up with nothing to show for it because you take throw the ball behind the sticks the clock keeps moving so you've got to hurry to the line they're trying to throw something quick something safe but carolina credit their defensive line there knowing that they weren't going to get to the quarterback getting their hands up in the air tyler mandeck's a tall quarterback but a little bit of a three-quarter delivery the ball gets batted in the air and then watch the play jeremiah gimmel the other guy who's had a fantastic game that ball bounces over and over it's not caught at first but cedric gray comes up with the catch javari ritzy headed dead to rights roddy until he didn't but cedric gray comes up with it that's what happens when you get bodies around the football but how about jeremiah kimmel we didn't give him his credit at first but he gets the credit for knocking that ball down alex talk with coach brown coach brown what a finish here what are your thoughts on this battle tonight well this team has been an inconsistent team we've been up and down and it's a great win for us when you mentioned we found a way to win what can you say just about the job your defense did but their backs are against the wall and the way they put this alex chapel rick angelo kyle lang west durham from chapel hill now the [Applause] huddle and by getting one first down you exhaust all the all their timeouts you keep the ball you win the game i have never found success in playing not to lose play to win go go score you know what i'm saying when you get hesitant you start getting really conservative that's how you lose ball games obviously it's easy for us to say as we're sitting here and not in the shoes of those coaches on the field but uh certainly when you got sam howell who's the one of the best players in america you got to trust him to let's play ball let's move the ball we've been moving it all game let's keep moving it put the game away to double back you could argue that there's an immense belief in tyler van dyke throwing for over 200 yards in that second half the reason why they were in position there but on the other side old reliable and maybe ej that's why you were clamoring for do something less conservative on third down because you have sam howe who made some massive plays in this one he's actually joined by alex chapel post game let's go to alex well sam congratulations on this win tonight and coming into this game you told me this is really going to test where we are mentally we can turn things around it starts tonight what did you learn about your team in this battle yeah you know i learned so much you know it's been an up and down year but you know we just tell our guys just keep fighting you know we're going to give it everything we got but we left it off
