It’s the biggest matchup of the season for the UNC football program as it welcomes in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Chapel Hill on Saturday.
While the Tar Heels are 3-0 this season, there have been some major issues with the defensive unit and it’s a group that needs to get its performance turned around.
Notre Dame has a backup quarterback entering his second start and first road start of the season.

If a good performance from the defense happens this weekend, it could be a huge turning point early on in the season.
Here are the defensive keys to the game for UNC against Notre Dame.
