The game outcome was as expected but it was not the best game I have seen. Take away Greg Little and MVP Dion Lewis, and the Meineke Car Care Bowl was a mess, although an entertaining one that Pitt won on a last-minute field goal, 19-17. Dion Lewis rushed for 159 yards and a touchdown to pass Tony Dorsett as Pittsburgh's top freshman rusher. As I guessed, North Carolina's defense struggled to contain the shifty Lewis. Lewis had eclipsed 100 yards by halftime, his 10th 100-yard game of the season and his eighth straight. His only negative was the fumble that he lost in the endzone. The play of the game had to be the ball that Little caught in the endzone though. After the play he punted the ball away and Butch Davis got into him for that. Little caught seven passes for 87 yards. UNC was unbelievably close to 11-2. Instead, their coach had to apologize for being "not as smart as we needed to" and 8-5.
