Bill Belichick and UNC nearly upset No. 1 Miami

North Carolina’s offense, led by second-year coach Bill Belichick, delivered one of the most thrilling performances of the season against the top-ranked Miami Hurricanes. The Tar Heels trailed by just three points with under two minutes left, having clawed back from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Two late onside kicks—both thwarted by penalties—denied UNC a chance to force overtime, as Miami held on for a 38-35 victory. Despite the loss, Belichick’s team has shown resilience, improving to 4-4 after starting the season 4-2.

The winless stretch follows a signature upset over unbeaten Pittsburgh earlier this month, underscoring Belichick’s ability to keep his young squad competitive in high-pressure matchups.
