Following North Carolina’s 41-31 win over Miami North Carolina Head Coach Mack Brown had this to say!

Tonight was a heavyweight fight from start to finish,""I am proud of our coaches for making adjustments at halftime, our team moving the ball in the third quarter and stopping them in the third quarter. That was great to see from our team.

"Probably the difference in the ballgame was forcing four turnovers and giving none. We forced two interceptions and two fumbles. So we're really proud of our defense that they are now starting to force more fumbles, and they kept a really good rushing team to under 100 yards."
