Jake Weinberg<\/a> that sent Miami into the locker room with a 17-14 lead.<\/p>\n\u201cWe just had to stay poised, just go out there and make routine plays and catches, what we do every day out there on Greentree,\u201d Toney said.<\/p>\n
The second half brought more pressure from the Tar Heels, who not only kept pace with the Hurricanes, but took the lead in the opening minutes of the third quarter.<\/p>\n
And again, it was a touchdown pass from Edwards that put points on the board.<\/p>\n
This time, the graduate transfer from Wisconsin threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordan Shipp that put the Tar Heels ahead 21-17 with 10:51 left in the third.<\/p>\n
That lead wouldn\u2019t last long, though.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes answered with an 8-play, 80-yard drive that culminated when Fletcher scored on a 2-yard run that was upheld after a brief review.<\/p>\n
But Fletcher and the Hurricanes weren\u2019t done.<\/p>\n
After North Carolina took a 28-24 lead early in the fourth quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run from Demon June, Fletcher scored again, capping a 9-play, 75-yard scoring drive with a 2-yard touchdown run that put Miami ahead 31-28 and tied McGuire\u2019s record.<\/p>\n
Now, with this game against North Carolina behind it, the Hurricanes will turn their focus to what will undoubtedly be one of the most-watched games of the college football season.<\/p>\n
Miami is set to travel to South Bend, Indiana next week to face longtime rival and fifth-ranked Notre Dame, which is likely to rise in the polls after its 35-13 win over Navy on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The two teams last met last season when the Hurricanes beat the Irish, 27-24, in the season opener for both teams.<\/p>\n
It was a game that later made a world of difference for both teams when Miami advanced to the College Football Playoff as an at-large team, while the Irish did not.<\/p>\n
