UNC disrupted Cincinnati’s vaunted passing attack with immense pressure up front and six defensive backs consistently on the field in its 39-17 win in the Belk Bowl on Saturday. UNC held Cincinnati to a season-low 349 yards of offense. The Bearcats were held below 200 passing yards (181) for only the second time this season despite averaging 313.8 passing yards per game (15th nationally). (Inside Carolina)
