The North Carolina Tar Heels move to 4-0 for the first time since 1997 after delivering a roller-coaster win over Pitt.
It was not the best start for UNC, deflating fan’s confidence after the defense let Pitt walk them down to the end-zone on the first drive of the game, but that did not last long. UNC made a quick pit stop on the sideline, and the rest was history, with the Tar Heels storm trooping past the sluggish start to a lopsided 41-24 victory.
Drake Maye thrilled fans with a Mahome-style, left-handed touchdown pass while the defense forced Pitt’s offense into three turnovers (two interceptions and one fumble). The game felt like a roller coaster with many highs and lows.
In real-time, fans were tweeting their displeasure with the start and the inability to contain Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec, who was having a great game before unfortunately getting injured. At the same time, others could not hold their excitement about what they were watching, with UNC pulling out the classic flea flicker and defensive back transfer Alijah Huzzie putting the conference on notice.
From the good to the bad, we look at how social media reacted to UNC declawing the Panthers.
