No. 1 Miami rallied in the fourth quarter Saturday night to beat North Carolina 38-35 in Chapel Hill, improving to 8-0 before a showdown with Notre Dame in South Bend next week.
Edge rusher Marquise Lightfoot's strip sack of Billy Edwards Jr. in the fourth quarter was the turning point. North Carolina, under coach Bill Belichick, scored 35 points against a power-conference opponent for the first time. Edwards threw four touchdown passes, and the Heels were inches from recovering a late onside kick twice before penalties overturned both. Two weeks earlier Miami barely beat Florida State after two Hail Mary completions were waved off in overtime.
