Breaking down Pittsburgh-North Carolina

Coastal Division play gets underway Saturday when Pittsburgh travels to play North Carolina. Andrea Adelson and David Hale provide a quick game breakdown:

How to beat Pitt. Throw the ball. Or just become the Oklahoma State offense -- either way. The Cowboys threw for 540 yards in a 45-38 win last week, and both Penn State and Oklahoma State threw for over 300 yards. Pitt ranks No. 124 in the nation in pass defense, and is allowing 11.4 yards per reception (No. 91). Coach Pat Narduzzi anticipates his defense will have matchup problems again with the North Carolina receivers, so this is one of the matchups to watch.
