Belichick Says Double Teams Won’t Stop Miami Star

No. 1 Miami visits North Carolina after the Tar Heels’ overtime loss to Syracuse, with the Hurricanes favored by roughly 15 points. Miami receiver Malachi Toney is a central concern for Bill Belichick’s defense: through seven games, he has 66 catches for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns, including record-setting performances in his last two outings. Belichick said double coverage has not stopped Toney, praising his ability to beat coverage, create explosive plays and contribute as a blocker and returner. North Carolina’s defense will need to limit Miami’s high-scoring offense, though Belichick could also try to contain other weapons and make Toney carry the load.
