Belichick Hands Pitt First Loss Of The Season

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Billy Edwards Jr. threw a 75-yard touchdown pass in the second half and North Carolina knocked off No. 25 Pittsburgh 21-17. Pitt had just taken a 17-14 lead when the Tar Heels immediately responded. Edwards hit Shamar Easter for a 75-yard score for the go-ahead touchdown, giving coach Bill Belichick his first win against a ranked opponent at North Carolina. It was North Carolina’s first win against a ranked team since defeating No. 25 Miami in 2023 and the Tar Heels’ first ranked road win since taking down No. 9 Miami in 2020. Holden Geriner completed 27-of-44 passes for 219 yards with two interceptions for Pitt.
