Darian Mensah, Malachi Toney and the Miami Hurricanes remained undefeated with a 38-35 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday night.

North Carolina gave Miami all it could handle in Chapel Hill, but one turnover made enough of a difference for Miami to pull away in the second half.

Toney and Mark Fletcher Jr. combined for five touchdowns for the Hurricanes to keep them on top of the AP Top 25 for one more week.

The Hurricanes and Tar Heels went back and forth for most of the contest until Miami used a turnover to create separation.

Marquise Lightfoot forced a fumble on a strip sack of UNC quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Mensah then hit Toney for their second passing score of the night to extend the Miami advantage to 10 points.

Toney and Fletcher were once again the stars of the Miami offense.

Toney caught the first and last Miami touchdowns of the contest, while Fletcher ran in two scores and caught another.

Fletcher's second score on the ground ended up as the game-winning score with seven minutes left in the fourth .

Bill Belichick's Tar Heels gave the Hurricanes defense fits for most of the contest.

Edwards tossed four touchdown passes to keep UNC in the battle against the top-ranked team in the country.

Miami's move up to 8-0 sets up a colossal clash with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish next Saturday. That game should be a battle of top four teams. Notre Dame is expected to move up at least one spot in the AP poll after the Ohio State Buckeyes lost on Saturday night.

North Carolina dropped to 4-4 and will set its sights on becoming bowl eligible with four games left on its regular-season schedule.
