The 23rd meeting between Miami and North Carolina will break an 11 all-tie in games won. The Hurricanes lead the series 8-7 in ACC Games. This season’s meeting is the ACC opener for both teams. A game against an SEC Rival followed by a key Coastal Division game is a tough way to begin the season.
Miami's depth chart is the same heading into North Carolina.
