No. 10 North Carolina is hosting Virginia on Saturday in search of a 7-0 start. The Tar Heels are coming off a win against Miami. That game highlighted UNC's season-long trend of making adjustments at halftime then coming out strong in the third quarter. UNC has outscored opponents 71-24 in the third quarter this season.
North Carolina coach Mack Brown discusses a call with an official during the second half of the team’s NCAA college football game against Miami, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in Chapel Hill, N.C. North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker breaks a tackle attempt by Miami safety Kamren Kinchens en route to a touchdown during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Last weekend, Miami led 17-14 at halftime, outgaining UNC and pressuring star quarterback Drake Maye with four sacks. But things changed quickly after halftime, first when Maye found Devontez Walker for a 56-yard touchdown less than 2 minutes into the second half. Coach Mack Brown pointed to changes such as UNC using more quick throws, putting Maye on the move and also changing protections to manage Miami’s aggressive pass rushers.“Some people are better at game plans than they are adjusting,” Brown said. “Some people get stubborn. I always felt like you need to be simple enough to know what to go to when what you’re doing’s not working. What’s next? And you need to go fast.
