Kickoff, TV Information Set for Miami-UNC Game

CORAL GABLES, Fla. –The Atlantic Coast Conference office has announced that Miami’s road game at North Carolina on Oct. 15 will kickoff at 12:30 p.m. and be televised on the ACC Network.

The contest will mark the second of Miami’s upcoming two-game road trip, which will begin this weekend when the Canes travel to Blacksburg, Va. to take on Virginia Tech. That game is slated for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff with ABC/ESPN split coverage.

Miami’s game against North Carolina marks its first early afternoon game this season, as well as the team’s first appearance on the ACC Network.

Last season, Miami cruised to a 33-10 win over the Tar Heels at Sun Life Stadium. In UM’s last trip to Keenan Stadium, the Canes fell to the Heels, 33-24, in 2009. UNC holds a slight 6-8 edge over Miami in the all-time series between the two teams.
