Pitt edges UNC in Meineke Bowl

Posted Dec 27, 2009
Up by a point and with Pittsburgh pinned on its own 5-yard line, North Carolina couldn't have asked for a better end-game scenario in Saturday's Meineke Bowl. With the ACC's best defense, and one of the best in the country, the Tar Heels were the formality of one stop from their first bowl win in eight years. Instead of celebrating, UNC watched helplessly as Dan Hutchins' 33-yard field goal lifted No. 17 Pitt to a 19-17 win. (Raleigh News & Observer)
