It's hard to recall a two-week period of home football games with as much intrigue and potential drama as the Tar Heels have with Miami on Saturday and South Carolina the following week. Both are set for television, every ticket is sold and Chapel Hill hotel room booked. And each game has a labyrinth of storylines. This week it's the return of the Miami Hurricanes to Kenan Stadium, where they were last seen three years ago being clipped by freshman Connor Barth's 42-yard field goal at the final gun.
