Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s ACC football showdown between the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Miami Hurricanes online.

North Carolina travels to No. 16 Miami as both teams are looking to avenge their own respective losses at home against conference opponents last week.

The Hurricanes are coming off of an absolutely heartbreaking 20-19 loss to No. 14 Florida State. After Brad Kaaya threw a touchdown to Stacy Coley with 1:38 left in the fourth quarter, Miami was an extra point away from tying the game and potentially going to overtime. Unfortunately, for the Canes, Florida State defensive lineman DeMarcus Walker blocked the kick and handed Miami their first loss of the season.

As for the visitors, North Carolina suffered an ugly 34-3 to No. 25 Virginia Tech as they had to battle through the sloppy conditions of Hurricane Matthew. The offense struggled to get anything going against a stingy Hokies defense, accounting for only 131 total yards and committing four turnovers. The turnovers would prove to be costly, as Virginia Tech turned two fumble recoveries and two interceptions into 20 points.

For both teams to rebound, they will each look to their quarterbacks to set the tempo on offense. Miami’s Kaaya is considered to be one of the most pro-ready quarterbacks in the entire country, so the Hurricane offense will be guided by his big right arm. Kaaya has been solid, throwing for 1,149 yards and 10 touchdowns. Mitch Trubisky is looking to rebound from a disappointing 13-358-yard performance to help get his team back in the division title race but led the country in completion percentage before playing in hurricane conditions

One x-factor is the potential return of North Carolina running back Elijah Hood. The talented junior missed last week’s game against Virginia Tech and the offense suffered because of it. Hood has found the end zone four times this season and will look to do so again on Saturday, if healthy.
