Pitt-UNC features coaching friends, tough matchups

Posted Dec 26, 2009
Butch Davis' Tar Heels didn't envision a second straight trip to Charlotte until an upset loss to NC State in the regular-season finale saw them tumble in the ACC's bowl pecking order. But knocking off Pitt would be a satisfying finish to his third season. The Tar Heels lost a thriller to West Virginia here last year when Hakeem Nicks' behind-the-back catch wasn't enough to overcome Pat White's late touchdown drive. (WRAL Sports Fan)
