Containing UConn QB Kalieb Osborne will be key for a UNC win.

The Tar Heel defense has their work cut out for them against the mobile quarterback. The Hurricanes scored on six of their seven offensive possessions (not counting the kneel downs at the end); the Tar Heels only forced one punt the entire game.

Some struggles on that side of the ball were to be expected. Miami boasts arguably the best offense in the country and currently has two of the top three betting favorites for the Heisman Trophy on their roster.

Still, for a coach like Bill Belichick who prioritizes defense, this loss has to sting. The Heels now turn their attention to their next opponent, the Connecticut Huskies.

Connecticut actually mirrors the Heels' offense in a few ways: both teams' QBs have thrown for roughly the same number of yards (1,872 for Billy Edwards Jr. vs 1,857 for Huskies QB Kalieb Osborne); both teams operate on a running back by committee approach, with each squad having three backs with at least 44 carries on the season. That being said, UConn's rushing attack has generally been much more potent; they are among the top 25 teams in the country in rushing yards per attempt.
