After a season-opening win against South Carolina, UNC football returns to Kenan Stadium to face Miami.
The Hurricanes sit at 0-1 following a loss to Florida to open its season. New head coach Manny Diaz — who coached under Mack Brown at Texas — is looking to get the ‘Canes in the win column this weekend.
Defense is the name of the game in this one and Miami’s trio of senior linebackers will be looking to pressure Sam Howell. The freshman quarterback looked solid against South Carolina, but Miami’s defense might be the best that Carolina faces all year.
Kickoff Time
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. from Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill.
Hurricane Dorian is scheduled to pass by North Carolina this weekend, but the weather for Saturday’s game is predicted to be clear. The new artificial turf at Kenan Stadium will face its first test in dealing with the amount of rain that Dorian leaves.

What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the new ACC Network.
YouTube TV prices at $50/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as the ACC Network. YouTube TV does not offer NFL Network or NFL Red Zone for pro sports fans.
Playstation Vue prices out similarly at $50/month and carries ESPN and the ACC Network. Vue also carries NFL Network and NFL Red Zone. A key note here: you don’t need to own a Playstation 4 to use Playstation Vue.
Hulu TV goes for $45/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest at $25/month, but includes the fewest channels. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
