Pittsburgh feasts on UNC’s defense as offense improves, but not enough

Posted Oct 5, 2024
North Carolina continues to do enough on offense to give the Tar Heels a chance to win, only for the defense to eliminate that possibility. Unbeaten Pittsburgh feasted on that defense in a 34–24 victory on Saturday afternoon at Kenan Stadium. It handed the reeling Tar Heels, who failed twice on fourth down near the goal line, their third straight defeat. (Tar Heel Tribune)
