Carolina vs Pittsburgh game thread——Saturday 29 October 2022

[IDUNK4HEELS]

This may be the biggest football game in Chapel Hill in many years as a win would all but secure the Coastal Division for the Tar Heels.

Hopefully the extra week to prepare for the Panther tough defense and their time consuming running attack will pay dividends because I fully expect another high scoring battle between these two squads…

 

[WoadBlue]

It is a huge game because being the last Coastal Champ would mean something.

Mark Richt does not respect the UNC D. He just said he expects Slovis to play better tonight than he did against Louisville because of whom he will be facing.

 

[Archer2]

Big game, no doubt.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

The key to a possible win over the Panthers is stopping Abanikanda not allowing him to make short gains into big gains. The safeties may have to help in stopping the Panthers time consuming rushing attack.

Also if Pittsburgh dares to single cover Downs and Green let them have big night by looking for them often.

 

[WoadBlue]

If I were Pitt, I would want to run Abanikanda about 25 times.

 

[strummingram]

Drake faces the toughest defense so far this season. I hope the extra week of practice will help.

 

[WoadBlue]

Slovis completes 1st pass. Pitt WR drops 2nd pass. 3rd pass is complete for big yards.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Panthers 4 straight passes to start their drive

 

[WoadBlue]

Another completion. UNC Dbs again look like they can stop nothing.

 

[strummingram]

Sheezus... UNC's defense sucks

 

[WoadBlue]

Missed tackle and Abanikanda scores TD.

 

[WoadBlue]

Sheezus... UNC's defense sucks

Very sloppy play. They tackle poorly. They are often out of position. DBs can't seem to cover anybody consistently.

 

[strummingram]

Matador defense


embarrassing

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Abanikanda finishes off the initial Panther drive with a burst off his left side. 7-0 for the visitors

 

[NBBears20124ACHAMPS]

Very sloppy play. They tackle poorly. They are often out of position. DBs can't seem to cover anybody consistently.

Not when the front can't get pressure and the DB's have to cover for 5+ seconds.

 

[strummingram]

The Heels defense didn't disrupt anything at all for that entire series.

I dunno how you can come out after a bye week and your defense is THAT pathetic, at home, on the opening drive by the visiting team

 

[uncboy10]

Two big third downs and they got beat bad on both of them. One for a huge pass play, and the other for a TD

 

[strummingram]

I sure hope the Heels offense can keep up

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina three and out

 

[WoadBlue]

They seem not to know they must block Dennis.

 

[strummingram]

3 and out

 

[WoadBlue]

Good hustle by Green on punt coverage. He just kept after it.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice special team play by Green

 

[strummingram]

Stick the weakest defense in the conference/country right back out on the field

 

[WoadBlue]

Pitiful by DL. Slovis drops deep snap, and nobody gets close to him in the end zone.

 

[gteeitup]

i don’t understand running tempo when carolina does it…seems counterproductive.

 

[strummingram]

MUST STOP!!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Carolina defense Holds

 

[WoadBlue]

Pitt will punt inside the 15.

 

[gteeitup]

it’s a seven point deficit and our defense is getting gashed…just run your sh*t.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Good field position to start this drive. I know Coach Brown wants to establish the running game but I would rather see Green and Downs get involved early.

 

[WoadBlue]

Pitt D pursues well. Need to run at them, not try to run away from them.

 

[strummingram]

mix it up! get everyone involved!

 

[WoadBlue]

Downs was interfered with in end zone.

 

[strummingram]

I like the use of the TEs

 

[WoadBlue]

Elijah Green has moved ahead of Hampton.

 

[strummingram]

We got hosed on that 3rd down spot

 

[WoadBlue]

I like the use of the TEs

Yep

 

[strummingram]

Pitt defensive line is killing us

 

[strummingram]

GREEN!!!!
