I will go out on a limb and say that Carolina will surprise Miami on October 30th. Yep. If I'm wrong, so what. But if they win, I look like a genius. I don't think Berlin has it together, and our DEs are getting after the quarterbacks more and more each week.

It was a beautiful October night in Kenan Stadium. It was supposed to be just another game in #2 Miami's road to national title contention once again. They were 6-0. We were 3-4. They were Miami. We were Carolina. This was football.
It was supposed to be a cakewalk for Miami. The Heels had other plans.
Darian Durant to Mike Mason. Chad Scott. Scott Brumett. Chad Scott again.
The Heels were up 21-14 at halftime. They were knocking on the door right before the first half ended before an ill-advised Durant pass was intercepted. Jesse Holley chased down the defender and saved what would have been a touchdown if not for a Miami flag.
28-21 Heels. You knew Miami was going to score. Again, they were Miami.
Too much time for Darian to get freshman Connor Barth in range. 42 yards. Golden. Carolina gets a huge win toward bowl eligibility.
The biggest win in Carolina football history. Buy the DVD. Listen to the remix. Appreciate it, because the first one is the sweetest.
By the way, I called the win a month prior to the game. And I called the score an hour prior to the game. "It's going to be 31 to 28," I told Frank and Brett. Honest.
