Miller passed for 141 yards and both Tar Heel touchdowns in a 20-10 victory over Kentucky before 36900 spectators at Kenan Stadium But UNC didn't take this college football opener just on the throwing arm of Miller who had plenty of help from his runners' Tailback Don McCauley rushed for 160 yards as the Tar Heels piled up 425 yards total offense McCauley was nearly unstoppable as he carried the ball 28 times from scrimmage and he did prove uncatchable as a receiver On the first play of the fourth quarter he took a pass from Miller and faked Wildcat safety Earl Swindle off his feet for 48 yards and the clinching score After receiving the second half kickoff the Tar Heels broke a 10-10 tie with Ken second field goal a 44-yarder After an incomplete pass quarterback Stan Forston suck-ered
