Notre Dame 31, North Carolina 17: FIW Game Ball Winners

Who were the biggest stars in Notre Dame’s 31-17 victory at North Carolina? The Fighting Irish Wire staff has spoken with their game balls.

Michael Chen’s Notre Dame-North Carolina Game Ball Awards:

Offensive:  Kyren Williams

The star sophomore was nursing an ankle injury, but that didn’t stop him from grinding out yards. He finished with 124-yards on 23 carries with 2 touchdowns. Williams added 4 receptions for 20-yards and another touchdown. The explosiveness wasn’t quite there, but the production was.

Defensive:  Marist Liufau
The flow was difficult to miss today, as the sophomore linebacker made plays all over the field. He registered two sacks, had other big tackles and brought the juice today. The rest of the defense fed off his intensity and shut down a high powered UNC offense.
