Kickoff time set for UNC and Notre Dame matchup

The UNC football program will meet Notre Dame in an afternoon showdown in Week 4 as the kickoff time has been announced.

Mack Brown and the North Carolina Tar Heels are on a bye week here in Week 3 as they are a perfect 3-0 to start the year.

After beating FAMU, Appalachian State, and Georgia State, the competition gets a little tougher when the Tar Heels hit the field. The first game out of the bye will be a tough test as Notre Dame comes to town. Despite the struggles for the Fighting Irish, this will be a tough game for the Tar Heels a good early test for them.

On Monday, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced the start time for the game as the two teams are set for an early afternoon kickoff for 3:30 p.m. EST. The game will also be broadcasted on either ABC or ESPN.

This will be the third-straight year the two teams will meet with Notre Dame winning both of the previous matchups, one in South Bend and one in Chapel Hill. But this is a different Fighting Irish team.

They are 0-2 this season under Marcus Freeman after being upset by Marshall at home in Week 2. They will also be without starting quarterback Tyler Buchner who exited that game late with an injury. It’s a vulnerable Notre Dame team and one that UNC needs to take advantage of.
