Tar Heels' late win shows glimpses of 2016 identity

Posted Sep 24, 2016
Larry Fedora knew his UNC team would need all 60 minutes to beat Pittsburgh, and it took nearly every second to get the 37-36 win. Mitch Trubisky threw his fifth touchdown of the day with just seconds on the clock. Bug Howard's two-yard endzone catch tied the game with two seconds left, then Nick Welier's point-after gave the home team its first lead of the day and the win. (WRAL Sports Fan)
