Game Analysis
North Carolina (-7) 28 PITTSBURGH 18
Pitt QB Phil Jurkovec is at his third school and he still sucks. Jurkovec is one of those guys that keeps getting starting jobs because he’s got a strong arm. The problem is that he’s not accurate and not poised in the pocket. Jurkovec has completed just 47% of his passes and averaged only 3.7 yards per pass play against the two FBS teams that he faced. UNC has a solid pass defense (5.7 yppp allowed to quarterbacks that would combine to average 6.9 yppp against an average team) but the Tarheels have bee mediocre defending the run and I suspect the Panthers will try to run it more today. I’d still rather have North Carolina.
