As the University of Miami readies for its week 10 matchup, the school is brimming with excitement. From the cheerleaders of the team to the sunsations that perform at the game, to the students that walk around campus, everyone can feel the excitement from the team radiating throughout the campus.
The team travels to North Carolina this week in its continued quest for an undefeated season. Miami is once again in a revenge game, as UNC got the better of the Hurricanes last year by a score of 20-13.
UNC vs UM 2016
Last year the Tar Heels came into Hard Rock Stadium with one of the best teams in the conference. They were led by their current NFL quarterback (Chicago Bears) Mitch Trubisky. North Carolina jumped out to a quick 20-0 lead thanks to two touchdowns by Trubisky. Miami would respond, though, when Yearby scored a rushing touchdown. However, with Miami down 13-20 and attempting to tie the game, UNC forced former Miami QB Brad Kaaya to fumble and turn the ball over.
UNC vs UM 2017
This year, UNC is without its two biggest offensive weapons from last year (Mitchell Trubisky and Ryan Switzer). However, it is important that the Hurricanes get complacent when playing against this team. This Miami team has a history of playing close games, so hopefully they’ll be able to put this game away early. But, if the game does go down to the wire, the Hurricanes can always use their previous three games as examples on how to finish.
Let’s keep the magic season going! Go Canes!
