UNC Secures First Ranked Win Under Belichick with 21-17 Upset of Pitt

North Carolina defeated No. 25 Pittsburgh 21-17 on October 10, marking the first victory over a ranked opponent for head coach Bill Belichick. The win improved UNC’s record to 3-2 and ended a streak of ranked losses dating back to 2023. Despite a chaotic game featuring multiple turnovers and a shaky first half, quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. delivered a 75-yard touchdown pass to Shamar Easter in the fourth quarter to seal the upset. The result provides crucial momentum for UNC ahead of a matchup against Duke, while Pitt’s loss prevents them from starting the season 6-0.
