UNC’s first road trip to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers would be a tough one traditionally, but things don’t feel that way for a few reasons. First, Pitt’s starting quarterback Phil Jurkovec has been struggling quite a bit, which is something we will go into more detail about in a moment. Second, the Heels offense is riding into this game with a lot of momentum on their side. Finally, not only does it feel like the Heels offense is finally starting to hum, the defense has continued to impress three games into the season.
On paper, it’s hard to see how this game doesn’t end with the Tar Heels getting to light up the tower again, but will Pat Narduzzi REALLY stick with his starting quarterback, or is he pulling the ol’ Clemson in the ACC title game thing?
