Following their second bye of the College Football season North Carolina is returning to the gridiron, hosting Pittsburgh tonight in Chapel Hill.
Pittsburgh like North Carolina is a member of the Coastal Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference!
Pittsburgh comes into the game with a record of 4-3 1-2 in the Coastal Division Of The Atlantic Coast Conference because unlike North Carolina they played at Louisville last Saturday lost 24-10 Malik Cunningham threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Josh Lifson midway through the fourth quarter, Kei'Trel Clark returned a sack fumble 59 yards for an insurance TD and Louisville beat Pitt 24-10 on Saturday night at Cardinal Stadium.
Cunningham tossed his second TD after a 33-yard trick play double-pass catch-and-run from receiver Braden Smith to the Panthers' 11. Two plays later, a wide-open Lifson scooped up Cunningham's low 9-yard pass for just his second catch at Louisville and first score to make it 14-10 with 9:45 remaining. James Turner's 48-yard field goal provided a seven-point cushion before Yasir Abdullah sacked Kedon Slovis and forced a fumble that Clark returned for the clinching score as the Panthers tried to rally.
Cunningham also tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Marshon Ford early in the second quarter to tie the game at 7. He finished just 10 of 21 for 122 yards, but it was enough after missing a game with concussion-like symptoms. Louisville's bye gave him another week to recover; however, the senior was shaken up late in the first half after another hard hit and missed the Cardinals' first series of the second half but came back to convert two big plays.
The Panthers (4-3, 1-2) led 10-7 after Ben Sauls' 37-yard field goal late in the third quarter but couldn't extend it. Four turnovers didn't help, and Slovis was responsible for three, tossing two interceptions along with fumbling as he tried to pass late.
Israel Abanikanda rushed 28 times for 129 yards, including a 12-yard TD run, after rushing for a school-record 320 yards against Virginia Tech last time out. The bulk of his yardage came in the first half, and he also had a 37-yard catch-and-run to set up Pitt's first touchdown.
His 36-yard run in the fourth put the Panthers on the Louisville 39, but they turned it over on downs. The Cardinals (4-3, 2-3) converted that opportunity into Turner's field goal.
Following Pittsburgh’s 24-10 loss to Louisville Pittsburgh Head Coach Pat Narduzzi had this to say!
We didn’t didn't make enough plays offensively,When you put the ball on the ground, that just can't happen. We've got to protect the ball better. Not going to win many ball games minus-3 in the turnover margin again."
