Both Notre Dame and North Carolina had played very clean football, no turnovers for either team. That changed very quickly under a minute into the fourth quarter. The Irish had just extended their lead to 38-27 on Kyren Williams amazing touchdown run that went for 91-yards.
The Tar Heels had their backs against the wall and quarterback Sam Howell felt like he needed to make a play. Well, Irish safety DJ Brown felt the same way and stepped in front of a Howell pass and picked it off. The replacement for star Kyle Hamilton was having a quiet night but not anymore.
DJ Brown takes advantage of Howell’s only mistake so far. The pick led the Irish to another FG
