Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Let’s make it 4-0! UNC made it through the early part of their schedule with a perfect 3-0 record, heart-stopper against Appalachian State included, but 4-0 has been a tough ask for whatever reason. The Tar Heels travel to Pittsburgh tonight for a chance to make it to 4-0 for the first time since 1997. Carolina has won each of their three games a different way. South Carolina fell victim to a defensive onslaught, the running backs ran wild over the Mountaineers, and Drake Maye’s arm helped them secure the win against Minnesota. Which unit will step up tonight under the lights against the Panthers? Pitt comes into tonight with a 1-2 record after dropping consecutive games to Cincinnati and West Virginia. Their defense has been a bit better than their offense so far, but still not good enough to beat anyone except in their opener against Wofford. Hopefully UNC can extend the Panthers’ slide to three straight games, but Pitt has definitely played the Heels close the last several years. As always, we’ll be back after the game with a complete roundup of the happenings. Until then... Go Heels!

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Carolina opens ACC play in Pittsburgh. Let’s put it out there: the all-white “Stormtrooper” uniform announcement threw us for a loop. This slick combo is on a five-game losing streak. But as Max Sloan pointed out yesterday, the “Stormtrooper Curse” is not as bad as we thought. Okay, the five-game losing streak is bad. But records are made to be broken. For a brief moment after the announcement, I wondered if I should look at the big board and reconsider some of the bets. No. Do not let a great uniform set change your bets. Today’s game will hinge on the Pitt offense. If Phil Jurkovec cannot find his game, the offensive production will transfer to a committee of three running backs. If the North Carolina Tar Heels defense can produce the physicality, quarterback pressure, and run containment of games one and three, tonight’s matchup is on Drake Maye and the offense to win.
