A lot of the retrospectives on Saturday’s UNC-Miami game from the Miami side of things are no doubt repeating something along the lines of “you can’t lose the turnover battle 4-0 (or 3-0, if they’re being realistic) and expect to win the game.” Of course, there was a defense, wearing Tar Heel Blue, that was there for those turnovers, sometimes simply taking advantage of the situation and sometimes creating them, stopping Miami from scoring even when they were moving the ball pretty well. It wasn’t the prettiest defensive performance you’ll see, and penalties made it even uglier, but it was full of big plays in a game that was decided by which team could make more of them.
