Kendric Burney returned one of his three interceptions for a 77-yard touchdown and his third pick resulted in a bizarre fourth-quarter score that helped North Carolina beat No. 12 Miami 33-24 on Saturday.

Burney fumbled his third interception, but Melvin Williams picked up the loose ball and ran the last 44 yards for a score that gave the Tar Heels (7-3, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) a two-score lead with about 9½ minutes left. Casey Barth kicked four field goals, including the clincher with 1:57 left, to help North Carolina become bowl-eligible for the second straight year and give Butch Davis yet another win against his former program.

Jacory Harris threw four interceptions for the Hurricanes (7-3, 4-3), who have lost all three meetings against Davis since he took over in Chapel Hill in 2007.
