Winners, Losers, and Honorable Mentions: UNC Football vs. Pittsburgh

Posted Oct 12, 2026
Winners: UNC Secondary. The task was easier for this squad facing Pitt’s backup QB in his first start, but at the same time Pitt had a couple of advantages in an extra day off plus four weeks of tape on the UNC defense. They had time to game plan, yet the UNC secondary limited Holden Geriner to 219 yards in the air, no touchdowns, and had two pickoffs. (Tar Heel Blog)
