Things were bad, and then things were good, but then they ended badly. UNC rallied all the way back to tie Pitt in the fourth quarter before getting absolutely nothing in the pouring rain in overtime.
This is where I am contractually obligated to point out that the Tar Heels would have left Heinz Field with a win if there wasn’t a rather inexplicable decision to go for two after a touchdown made it a ten-point game in the third quarter. Does being down eight instead of nine really matter? Well, in this case it did, but badly.
