North Carolina's trip to Pittsburgh provides an opportunity for Bill Belichick and his Tar Heels to pick up a ranked win against a 5-0 Panther team without their clear best player in quarterback Mason Heintschel. Heintschel's torn ACL suffered in last week's win over Virginia Tech opens the door for Texas State transfer Holden Geriner to take the reins of Pat Narduzzi's solid team.
Inside Carolina's Jason Staples and Greg Barnes join Tommy Ashley to dig into the details behind Pitt's perfect start and Carolina's opportunities on Saturday after a solid performance against Notre Dame. Barnes and Staples both highlight the vulnerabilities of the Pitt defense and outline how Bobby Petrino, Billy Edwards, Jr., and the Carolina offense can take advantage.
Winning the trenches will be key on both sides of the ball for the Heels in what should be a physical low scoring affair in Acrisure Stadium at 12p on Saturday.
