The University of North Carolina Tar Heels face a tough road test this Saturday when they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the undefeated Panthers. After a hard-fought 37-26 loss to Notre Dame last week, UNC (2-2, 0-1 ACC) now faces a team that has remained perfect through five games, including a late-game comeback against Virginia Tech.
Pitt (5-0, 2-0 ACC) boasts a potent offense and a stifling defense, particularly against the run, with five receivers capable of gaining 100 yards each. The Tar Heels, who scored more points against Notre Dame than any other opponent, will need to improve their turnover-prone play to have a chance, as Pitt forced four turnovers in their last win.
Quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. showed flashes of brilliance with three touchdown passes to tight ends, but UNC’s defense struggled, allowing nearly 500 yards and five touchdowns to Notre Dame’s CJ Carr.
For Pitt, Holden Geriner will make his first collegiate start at quarterback, adding another layer of unpredictability to the matchup. UNC’s ground game, a key weapon, will be tested against a Panthers defense that limits opponents to just 55.6 rushing yards per game on average.
