UNC dropped their third game of the season when Notre Dame came to town yesterday, but the outcome left a distinctly different aftertaste compared to their two previous losses. A one-possession game for the first 58 minutes and 40 seconds, the Irish didn’t pull away until late in the fourth quarter. Only Louisville (weird) and Clemson (not so weird) were within striking distance in the the final four minutes of competition, and both of those teams led by a touchdown before giving up late scores.
So, the Heels have plenty to proud of, while also understandably beig disappointed like another chance to make a national statement slipped away.
