Posted Sep 23, 2023
UNC Football is trying for its first 4-0 start since 1997, which was the final season of Mack Brown’s first tenure in Chapel Hill. The Panthers are hoping to avoid their first 1-3 start since 2017, the program’s only losing season in Pat Narduzzi’s tenure. Key matchup: North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye vs. Pitt’s secondary. The Panthers love to blitz. (Associated Press)
