Pittsburgh Panthers vs. North Carolina Tar Heels Preview and Prediction

Posted Sep 23, 2016
The Tar Heels haven’t been able to control opposing rushing attacks and Pitt has James Conner getting back into high gear. But North Carolina, with Elijah Hood and T.J. Logan, are a threat running the ball while the Pittsburgh passing game has shown little life. That balance, coupled with being at home, gives UNC the victory. Prediction: North Carolina 35, Pittsburgh 27. (Athlon Sports)
