For the first time since 1978, the Miami Hurricanes are 0-2 to start the season following a loss 28-25 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels Saturday night.
In what most would not have expected going into the season, the Canes defense was its biggest weakness in the loss. After taking a 25-20 lead in the fourth quarter on a 11-yard touchdown to tight end Will Mallory, the Canes were unable to stop North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell from completing a pass on a fourth-and-17 play on their own 40 that most likely would have changed the outcome of the game.
