ESPN RECAP

Newsome's late TD catch puts North Carolina past Miami 28-25

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Mack Brown knew he needed to coax some confidence out of his North Carolina players after inheriting a team that frequently found a way to give up leads last season. Two games in, the Tar Heels are playing like they're free from that burden -- fittingly led by the composed true freshman who isn't the least bit interested in experiencing any of that frustration. Sam Howell directed a clutch final drive and found Dazz Newsome just inside the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:01 left, lifting the Tar Heels to a second fourth-quarter comeback in as many weeks and a 28-25 win against Miami on Saturday night. "I just have confidence in myself, I have confidence in this team," Howell said. "I have confidence in all 10 guys on the field with me. This is what we do." Howell's perfect throw found Newsome dragging his toes inches from the sideline from 10 yards out.
