A win worth savoring - The morning after, UNC Football vs. Pitt

Posted Oct 11, 2026
Carolina entered as a 3.5-point underdog. The Tar Heels got the win in a rock fight, 21-17. This one could easily have gone the other way. Pittsburgh left the door open, UNC stayed close, and a few decisive plays rewarded the visitors. After the difficulties of the Bill Belichick era, UNC Football had a result to put alongside last week’s encouraging signs. (MSN.com)
