Carolina beat Pitt on the road Thursday night behind a strong first half which saw the Heels take a 20-3 lead into the break. Carolina hung on to win 26-19 behind the bend but don't break defense which has epitomized the Heels this season.

The play calling became very conservative at times and Carolina opted to kick field goals in multiple short yardage situations.
