Posted Oct 28, 2005

If UNC quarterback Matt Baker doesn’t survey the field well at the Orange Bowl, look for his streak of throwing at least one interception in every game this season to continue. The senior signal-caller has nine picks in six games, tied for the ACC’s most. And Saturday, Baker will go up against the top pass defense in the country — Miami has allowed opponents to complete a mere 46 percent of its passes against this season. (Daily Tar Heel)
