Howard’s Late TD Caps UNC Football’s Frantic Comeback Win Over Pitt

Posted Sep 25, 2016
With his team down 13 points, Mitch Trubisky put together a pair of clutch touchdown drives in the final five and a half minutes—ultimately finding Bug Howard in the end zone with two seconds left on the clock to give UNC (3-1, 1-0 ACC) a stunning 37-36 victory. It was the type of finish that left the crowd utterly speechless as to what they had just witnessed. (Chapelboro.com)
