About This Game
Pittsburgh took the first lead and kept North Carolina chasing for most of the first half. La'Vell Wright's 2-yard run at 9:49 of the first quarter put the Panthers up 7-0, and Antonio Chadha's 41-yard field goal in the second quarter made it 10-0. The Tar Heels answered before the break when Billy Edwards Jr. found Jelani Thurman for a 7-yard touchdown at 5:32 of the second quarter.
The momentum swung in the third quarter. Demon June's 1-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds left in the period gave North Carolina a 14-10 lead. Pittsburgh struck back when Wright scored again from a yard out at 12:47 of the fourth quarter. Eleven seconds later, Edwards connected with Shamar Easter for a 75-yard touchdown that put the Tar Heels back on top, 21-17.
North Carolina's totals tell the rest of the story: 921 total yards over 25 drives, with nine punts and four turnovers.
