Notre Dame faces an unbeaten opponent Saturday in their second road game of the year when they travel to North Carolina. The 3-0 Tar Heels have wins over Florida A&M and Georgia State that hardly move the meter but their road victory over Appalachian State has looked more impressive over the past couple weeks.
Is this a game where Notre Dame gets to .500 on the year and starts to build a little more positive momentum heading into their bye week or is it one where the Tar Heels, fresh off a bye, make it a truly forgettable September for their guests?
Although this will be the third-straight season Notre Dame and North Carolina have met, we don’t know a ton about this particular Tar Heels squad. For more on them we bothered Zack Pearson, the managing editor of Tar Heels Wire to fill the gaps on a few things related to North Carolina football.
