After taking a step forward against Georgia Tech last week, Pitt seemingly took two in the wrong direction, losing to North Carolina on Saturday, 35-28.
As I wrote in the preview, North Carolina did not have the look of a great team. Sure, the game was on the road. And yes, the Tar Heels have had Pitt’s number since the Panthers got into the ACC. But with North Carolina still battling several suspensions, this seemed like one that Pitt should win. Oddsmakers agreed as the Panthers were the favorite coming in.
So much for that, right?
