Howell accounts for four TDs as Tar Heels hold off Miami

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- , Sam Howell threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more as North Carolina held off Miami 45-42, sending the Hurricanes to their worst record at the midway mark of a season in more than two decades. Miami was in position to tie or win when reaching the North Carolina 16-yard line in the final minute, but linebacker Cedric Gray intercepted a tipped pass with 6 seconds left. “It’s like a roller-coaster. When you hop on it, you feel like you’re in good shape and then you go back down and come back (up),” North Carolina coach Mack Brown said. “One thing this team hasn’t done this year is won a tough game at the end.” Ty Chandler ran for two touchdowns for the Tar Heels (4-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) in a matchup of two teams that began the season in the Top 15, but are trying to gain traction midway through the season.
