What happened
ESPN RECAPHolstein powers Pitt past struggling North Carolina 34-24 for its first 5-0 start since 1991
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- , Eli Holstein threw for a career-best 381 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another score as Pittsburgh beat North Carolina 34-24 on Saturday for its first 5-0 start since 1991. Holstein completed 25-of-42 passes, while also rushing for a team-high 76 yards to lead the Panthers (5-0, 1-0 ACC). Running back Desmond Reid complimented Pitt’s offensive attack on the ground and in the air as he racked up 210 yards of total offense on 29 touches. “We've got a hell of a football team,” Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said. “You know, offensively, they got a good football team. They moved it, but our guys bowed up on fourth down. Just a heck of a team win, and great effort by our guys.” In the third consecutive loss for UNC (3-3, 0-2), Omarion Hampton paced the Tar Heels with 106 yards rushing and a score.
