UNC Football vs. Pitt: The Formula for a Tar Heel Victory

Posted Oct 10, 2026
The circumstances surrounding Pitt's quarterback change create an obvious starting point for the Carolina defense. Holden Geriner may be a fifth-year college quarterback, but Saturday will be his first career start. He performed well after replacing Mason Heintschel against Virginia Tech, completing 8 of 12 passes for 78 yards, including a 29-yard TD. (Tar Heel Blue)
