As nice as it may be playing close to home, North Carolina probably wouldn’t mind a change of venue after losing its third-straight bowl appearance in the Queen City in a 19-17 loss to No. 17 Pittsburgh in the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Saturday. The Tar Heels took an early lead against the Panthers on a T.J. Yates-to-Greg Little 15-yard pass play in the first quarter, but Pittsburgh would score the next 10 points. (Inside Carolina)
