KP-excellent game. Did it with his arm and legs. He overcame early drops and made smart decisions to throw the ball away at least 5 times instead of forcing the ball into traffic. With a poor start in OT (no fault of KP as the 1st 2 calls were questionable) he made the huge throw to Mack for the first down.

Shocky and Wayne- nice to see these young WRs step up. Wayne had the early drop but he has lots of upside. Shocky came up big. His speed out there can take the top off the D. Now that he’s healthy he should continue to do big things.

Alexander and Twyman- came up with big plays all night. Credit to PN and staff for building up tremendous depth on the DL.

Pinnock- gave up a TD pass but came up big at the end of the game. But a play not many talked about was how hustled to run down the NC player in the first half preventing a TD and allowing our D to hold them to 3.

Hamlin- I really thought he was going for the ball.

Stocker and Hallett- Stocker is prob a great kid. Has had a solid year but UNC knew right away to take advantage of him. Rough night. IDK why it took that long to make the switch to Hallett, the kid is a baller. He has the coverage skills as he’s a converted corner. And he can run with these WRs like Stocker can’t. He has a bright future and should have a good chance to start next year. Brandon Hill is going to be a real nice S as well.

Nice Win!
 
One huge problem with Stocker is that he is very late in recognizing the play and starting his coverage. Three times, he was standing flat footed when Newsome ran past him. He had zero chance to make a play. It will be nice to see him graduate and move on with his life.

Reminds me a little of Terrish Webb.
 
Pinnock was flying when he ran down that RB. Very impressive how fast he closed on the guy.

We’ve got some guys who can run. Wanny pleased... :)

Go Pitt.
He reminds me of Avonte Maddox and Elijah Pitts. He's very aggressive and will get burned from time to time but he has the perfect mentality for the position. Both became excellent CB's by the time they left.
