PITTSBURGH (AP) — Drake Maye threw for 296 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores as No. 17 North Carolina raced past Pittsburgh 41-24. The Tar Heels improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1997. Maye’s touchdown pass came late in the first half when the right-handed quarterback managed to fend off a Pitt defender and flip the ball left-handed to an open teammate to open up a double-digit lead. Pitt fell to 1-3 with its third straight loss. The Panthers also lost quarterback Phil Jurkovec to an undisclosed injury after he was hit illegally near the end of the first half.
