Larry Fedora.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The North Carolina football team had a bye week to think about the loss to big loss to Miami. It was big on the scoreboard and big because it ended any reasonable hopes of a title.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that they\u2019re anxious to get back out on the field and play, I really do,” UNC coach Larry Fedora said. “I think they were disappointed with what happened. We got all of that out of our system this past week and I think they\u2019re anxious to get back out on the field and play football.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the team had good practices during the open week and that everybody is fresh. “Everybody is as healthy as we\u2019re going to get at this point and we\u2019re just raring to go into this next game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Fedora said it will be a tough homecoming game Saturday against Pitt (12:30, ACC Network).<\/p>\n

“They are totally committed to running the football and being physical up front and hitting you with the play action pass when you commit everybody,\u201d he said point out that Pitt has the leading rusher in the country in James Conner.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a big 6\u20192, 250 pound bruising guy that can go,” Fedora said. “They lead him with a 270 pound fullback. They are really big up front on the offensive line. Their quarterback is doing a nice job, I think he\u2019s the second leading rusher on their team and you have the Boyd kid who makes all kinds of plays out at wide receiver for them. So we have our work cut out for us to get ready for this game, we haven\u2019t looked on ahead I assure you.”<\/p>\n

The Tar Heels finish the regular season at Duke and hosting NC State. “We\u2019ve got to put all of our focus on Pitt,” Fedora said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
