Notre Dame solidified themselves as one of the nation’s best teams last Friday, passing their most difficult remaining regular season test with flying colors in a 31-17 victory over then No. 19 North Carolina Tar Heels. While the Irish offense had no turnovers and had positive EPA/play both when rushing and passing, the defense was the story. Clark Lea’s group gave up touchdowns on the first two drives of the game, and then gave up three points the rest of the way including zero points allowed in a second half played without Kyle Hamliton. This Irish squad is a legitimate national title contender, and we have the stats to prove it.
