North Carolina holds on at the end, tops reeling Miami 27-24

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- , Tyler Van Dyke more than got back on track. It still wasn't enough for Miami to knock off Drake Maye and North Carolina. Maye passed for 309 yards and two touchdowns, one of them a 74-yarder to J.J. Jones , as North Carolina overcame a huge effort by Van Dyke to beat Miami 27-24 on Saturday and move atop the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division. Josh Downs had a receiving touchdown and Omarion Hampton ran for another score for North Carolina (5-1, 2-0 ACC). “It’s amazing how hard young people fight to win a football game," North Carolina coach Mack Brown said. “I’ve often said, whoever makes scoreboards is just not fair. Miami didn’t lose the game. They just ran out of time." Van Dyke completed 42 of 57 passes for 496 yards , the second-most in Miami history, behind Stephen Morris' 566 in 2012 , and three touchdowns for Miami (2-3, 0-1).
