The North Carolina Tarheels have scored 125 points in their last two games. Those are video game like scoring numbers. Marquise Williams had his worst passing game statistically of the season yesterday. Miami may have been ready to defend the pass but they were not ready for Williams ability to run the ball. Once Williams got himself involved in the Tarheel offense running the ball and the Tarheels gave themselves a short field by recovering a couple of fumbles and an interception by Jeff Schoettmer, the Tarheels set sail for their ninth straight win. Throw in Ryan Switzer's seventh career punt return for a touchdown and you ended up with 59 points on the board.
The Tarheels defense blitzed more in this game than they did in any other game this season. The 'Heels wanted to make Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya uncomfortable in the pocket and although he passed for over three hundred yards, it was 45-0 by the time Miami put any points on the board. It was senior day at North Carolina as it was their final game in Kenan Stadium and head coach Larry Fedora was able to take the seniors on offense and defense off the field as a group. They haven't gone undefeated at home since 1980 when Lawrence Taylor played in Kenan Stadium.
