UNC Game vs Miami Will Be Played in Primetime Slot

Over the weekend, the North Carolina Tar Heels were able to earn one of the bigger victories for the football program in some time.

North Carolina took down their rivals in the Duke Blue Devils, grabbing their second straight win. The Tar Heels now sit with a record of 4-2 on the season, going 2-1 in ACC play so far this year.

The win over Duke showed what the Tar Heels could be this year, and it's something that this group can now build on. North Carolina used a strong well-rounded approach to the game to take down the Blue Devils over the weekend.

The Tar Heels will now be playing the Syracuse Orange at home this weekend, offering them a chance to keep the winning going. But North Carolina also has a massive game coming up after the Syracuse matchup, with the Tar Heels scheduled to play the No. 1-ranked Miami Hurricanes.

The game against the Hurricanes will offer North Carolina an opportunity to prove themselves against one of the best teams in the country. And this contest against Miami will be played in the bright lights of primetime, with the game kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET on October 31.

The Tar Heels and Hurricanes will play either on ABC or ESPN, showcasing North Carolina in front of a national audience. Kenan Stadium will be ready to go for this contest, and the hope is that the team can take down Syracuse to set up a rowdy crowd in Chapel Hill.

While taking down Miami will be a tough task, North Carolina will at least have a chance to do so in front of a large audience. If anything, the Tar Heels can make a name for themselves in this game, with more fans understanding what this program is all about.

Since head coach Bill Belcihick took over, he has bene trying to build this program up in the best way possible. Belichick's first season didn't go as planned, with North Carolina going 4-8, but his second year has been much better.

If the Tar Heels could come away with a win over Miami, it could help set up this program for more success down the line. North Carolina is also still in the running for the ACC this season, with the Hurricanes ahead of them in the standings.

But North Carolina will first have to get through Syracuse before it can start prepping for the matchup with Miami.
