Josh Downs and Antoine Green are one of the most prolific wide receiver tandems in college football this season.

• The duo became the first pair of receivers in North Carolina program history to have 10 or more catches in the same game against Pitt on Oct. 29.
• Downs had 11 catches for 102 yards and two touchdowns, while Green had 10 receptions for 180 yards and two TDs.
• They are also the first set of receivers to notch 100 receiving yards in back-to-back games.
• Downs had 126 yards, while Green added 112 yards at Duke on Oct. 15.

TOP POWER 5 WIDE RECEIVER SCORING DUOS

1.	Hyatt/Ramel, Tennessee	17
	Egbuka/Harrison, Ohio State	17
3.	*Downs/Green, North Carolina*	13
	Cowing/McMillan, Arizona	13
5.	McMillan/Odunze, Washington	12
6.	Addison/Williams, USC	11

• Junior defensive back Storm Duck had his best performance of the season last Saturday against Pitt. He recorded a season-high six tackles - one shy off his career high - but it was his heroics on the Panthers final drive of the game that helped seal the Tar Heel win. Over PItt's final six plays, Duck had three tackles, a 3-yard tackle for loss and a pass breakup on fourth down that nailed down the victory.
