Notre Dame travels to ACC country on Saturday to take on the University of North Carolina. The high-scoring Tar Heels were idle last week after beating three smaller, non-conference schools in alarmingly unimpressive fashion. Meanwhile, the (1-2) Fighting Irish are seeking to build on last week’s home victory over California. This game will be nationally televised by ABC starting at 3:30 PM Eastern time.
North Carolina is coached by Mack Brown. He came out of retirement in 2019 for a second tour at the school after a distinguished career that included the 2005 national championship with Texas. In his three plus seasons, Brown has lifted the Tar Heel program out of the doldrums marked by poor leadership and academic fraud penalties.
