3 Predictions for UNC Football program's homecoming game against Pitt

Omarion Hampton can't Superman this game

Omarion Hampton was limited to "just" 103 rushing yards and no touchdowns against Duke. It was his lowest output of the season, save for the Charlotte game when he was withdrawn as a precaution in the second quarter.

You'd like to think that the All-ACC running back would get back on track against Pitt, but the Panthers boast college football's No. 35 ranked run defense, surrendering just 110.2 yards per game and 2.8 yards per rush. It's going to be tough sledding for #28.

Jacolby Criswell and his cast of talented receivers must step up to alleviate pressure at the line of scrimmage. Criswell must be smart but aggressive, and he must not throw any dumb interceptions or give up untimely sacks. He doesn't have the snaps of a super senior, but he's been around long enough and seen how it's supposed to work. Hampton needs Criswell to come through.
