The Irish jumped out to leads of 7-0 and 10-3, but North Carolina finally found the endzone with under 4-minutes left in the first half. Notre Dame came back and answered, with a quick drive, just 1-minute and 59-seconds, that took 6 plays and covered 75-yards to take back the lead.
It was quarterback Jack Coan that led the Irish on this drive, with a big pass play to tight end Michael Mayer for 30-yard to really get the drive moving. After a UNC personal fouls on forth down gave the Irish a 1st and ten from the 21-yard line. Coan found wide receiver Kevin Austin on this play to give the Irish the lead back, 17-10.
Perfect placement on the back shoulder TD! 👌
