CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Miami leading
rusher Duke Johnson and receiver Phillip Dorsett left the 10th-ranked
Hurricanes' game Thursday night at North Carolina in the first quarter
because of injuries.

Both players were ruled out for the rest of the game before halftime.


Johnson broke free for a 59-yard run and
had 83 yards on eight carries before heading to the locker room with an
undisclosed injury. Johnson came in ranked 14th nationally in rushing
at 114 yards per game.


Dorsett suffered an apparent left knee
injury when he was hit low on a tackle by Jabari Price on a reverse. He
was helped off the field and eventually to the locker room before
returning to the sideline on crutches late in the second quarter.


The junior had a 68-yard catch before the injury.
