Posted Oct 5, 2024
Entering Saturday’s ACC football tilt against Pittsburgh, the halfway point of the regular season for North Carolina, the Tar Heels ranked 131st in college football in opponent yards per completion at 16 yards per catch. This mark is the worst among Power Four programs. Allowing back-breaking yardage has led to three straight defeats for the Tar Heels.
