The North Carolina Tar Heels hosted the Miami Hurricanes in a prime-time matchup Saturday night, and it was chippy from the start.
Both teams came into the game riding different momentum, with UNC looking to keep their record intact and Miami fighting for a bounce back after an embarrassing meltdown loss to Georgia Tech a week prior. UNC was looking to keep its name buzzing as a sleeper playoff team, and Miami sought to remain alive for an ACC championship spot.
Knowing how critical this game is, both came out with heated emotions, causing tempers to boil from players and coaches on the sideline, even causing Miami assistant coach Lance Guidry to receive a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The Tar Heels did not have the performance they had a week ago of pure domination, but this game displayed some key moments. Drake Maye continued his hot streak of passing, finishing with 273 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. Meanwhile, Tez Walker showcased why UNC fought hard to get him on the field this season, finishing with 132 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
UNC had moments on offense and defense that echoed Tar Heel chants throughout Kenan Stadium. They also had moments that caused fans to express their frustration through social media. One of the biggest concerns echoing on social media is the amount of penalties UNC had keeping Miami in the game at times.
Regardless, UNC wakes up Sunday morning 6-0 after a dominating 41-31 win, but before they get there, let us look at the best social media reactions from the Tar Heels spinning Miami into back-to-back Ls.
