Controversial Referee Decisions Help Mario Cristobal’s Miami Escape Disaster Against Bill Belichick’s UNC

A late fumble turned into points, and two recovered onside kicks called back. Bill Belichick’s North Carolina Tar Heels thought they had #1 Miami right where they wanted them at Kenan Stadium, but disputed penalties in the final minutes allowed the Hurricanes to barely walk away with a 38-35 victory. The top-ranked Hurricanes were trailing in the second half and clung to a tight lead in the final minutes after UNC mounted a massive 16-play drive, placing Miami’s undefeated season and national championship hopes on the line.
