Pitt is not cursed against UNC. Just as Beamer’s Hokies weren’t cursed against Pitt. It may feel that way. it may have the fans (and perhaps some players) a bit spooked. Not the easiest thing to type when Pitt is 0-5 against the Tar Heels since coming into the ACC.
Yet, Pitt has never lost to them by more then 7 points. The last two years have come down to losing thanks to poor defense and a fumble. I suppose that is what contributes to the sense. It’s one thing to lose a bunch of times. And to be blown out in a few. But to always be within one score, but not get there. That can cause you to look for other reasons.
UNC is not as bad as they were last year, but they aren’t that good either. They got to avoid playing UCF last week because of the uncertainty surrounding Hurricane Florence, but no one is forgetting how they got destroyed by ECU two weeks ago.
