Finally, we have a decent bowl match up. Both of these teams are fairly similar in that they really on a strong defense and the ability to run the ball to take the pressure of their very inconsistent QB's. Both teams also have experienced coaches in Dave Wannstedt and Butch Davis, in fact, each served assistant coaching rolls with Jimmie Johnson at Oklahoma St., Miami and the Dallas Cowboys. This one is a very tough call. I am looking at three small edges that should fall in the Tar Heels favor. One, Pitt had visions of Sugar and Orange before have to settle for the Meineke Bowl. Two, Dave Wannstedt has had trouble winning the big games in his tenure with Pitt. Three, this should play more like a home game for NC. If NC can keep Pitts front seven off QB TJ Yates, the Tar Heels may eke this one out.
