Pitt-UNC Positives

Posted Sep 24, 2016
North Carolina stole one from Pittsburgh on Saturday at Kenan Stadium. On the surface, the Tar Heels had no business beating the Panthers 37-36, and on the flip side, Pitt had no business losing. But common sense and typical patterns are not always what a season is comprised of, and with that, Carolina eked out a victory on a last-second 2-yard touchdown reception by Bug Howard to push the Heels to the victory.
